Numbers 21:5
"so the people complained against God and Moses, "Why have you brought us up from Egypt to die in the wilderness, where there is no food or water? We are disgusted with this wretched food!""
Can you imagine the excitement to be brought out of slavery? What about the disappointment of wandering in the desert? God has each of us on a journey, and through out that journey there is going to be peaks and valleys. Times of joy and sadness or another way to say that, is feelings of consolation and desolation.
That is your life, through all of that, God is seeing if you see the beauty that is all around you. When we are in the wilderness do we just sit still and let God speak to us? Even though you are hungry, thirsty, and maybe in pain, do you listen or do you yell at the captain of the ship?
Dear merciful Father, the wilderness is a desolate place, only you know why we must experience it. Give us food and water for the journey. Quench our souls Lord and fortify our spirits so we are prepared for the promised land. I thank you for Your grace and I praise Your holy name, Amen.
Mary, Queen of Heaven, pray for us.
