Ep. 26 Peace in the Desert

What is the desert? Is it a place that we find ourselves in and have to struggle out of? Is it the location of several bad things happening? So often our prayers are focused on the transition out of the desert. Yet, we find that God uses the desert in Scripture as the very location where He calls His people to grow, follow, trust, endure, submit, all of it. Remember the story of Hagar and Ishmael and how they became so desperate that they separated from each other so they could do in peace. God answered their prayer. He brought water. He didn't remove them from the desert, He gave them what they needed to ENDURE the desert. How would we be different if embraced the desert as an opportunity rather than a place to run from?
