Ever feel like you are in the wilderness? The word “wilderness” means solitary place, or dry place. A wilderness experience may begin by feeling very spiritually dry or the feeling that you are all alone. Not only is this difficult, but many believers do not know how to maintain their spiritual walk during these times.
So, what do you do when you wake up in a wilderness like experience?
1. Be consistent.
Do not allow the enemy to steal your private time with God. Many people allow their feelings to determine whether they seek God or not. This is the biggest mistake of all! Actually, seeking Him when you are desperate may be the very thing you need to get to the next level of intimacy with Him.
2. Do Not Quit.
Luke 12:37 says, blessed are those servants, who are watching when the master comes. Due to circumstances, the other servants gave up and began to do other things than care for the Master’s causes. They allowed circumstances to make their decisions. Never allow your feelings to rule your dealings!
3. Live Intentionally!
Intentional living does not subject itself to what’s happening. Living intentionally is focused living with purposed action. When you live intentionally, your decisions are based upon your convictions, goals, and actions that result in living the life you desire. Intentionality means acting your way into a feeling, not feeling your way into an action.
--The next time the wilderness feeling shows up in your life, just stay steady.--
The wilderness is only for a season and you are passing through!
