God calls us to PURPOSE in deserts like these.
Until we graduate to heaven, the testing won’t stop...it may change..grow...evolve into new opportunities and challenges, but it’s never going to stop on this side of eternity.
And if we can’t learn to grow with it, we’re going to get stuck out there in the wilderness. In the desert--EVEN AFTER GOD HAS ANSWERED OUR PRAYERS.
God calls us to OBEDIENCE in deserts like these.
Look, following God isn’t EASIER. I don’t know who told you following God was EASIER. In MANY ways, it’s not easier. But I will tell you--it’s BETTER. There is promised land on the other side of obedience. The promises of God are on the other side of obedience!
There is purpose and wholeness and oneness with your maker on the other side of obedience! Fulfillment and forgiveness. It’s the difference between living in the light, and living in death. Depression and joy. Bondage and freedom.
It’s not easier, but it IS better.
What has He brought you out of?
He’s not done yet.
