Wilderness- An unsettled area- left in it's uncultivated or natural state seemingly without God. - By ones self - A solitary place. A place for the lame and fearful of heart. Yet a parched ground shall become a pool. God's presence will be known and solitary removed. In us the wilderness is the place we are when our thoughts are undisciplined and uncultivated. When we refuse God's commands and authority we create for our self a place of solitaire where seemingly He is not.
Rugged and Thorny is this place but God is there. We go through life wondering to and fro and never having an understandable knowledge of the presence that God has with us, or of God's Word, and then when we have made such a consequence for our self as it would be the turning point we find our self removed from the wilderness and/or being transformed by God's word.
In Chapter 35 of Isaiah we see the transformation but in 34:16 we see where the book of the Lord must be found. The spirit is suddenly a guide out of the wilderness but God's word must be sought out and the Head of Man renewed. Wilderness is a place where we all have wondered in our absence from God's word. If we have no knowledge of God's Word, If we are not conscious of God's Love then the Wilderness is where we are but Also God is there- Pick up God's Word and Obey!! Wilderness is not our true place!! In love to us all, Ricky Johnson
