Just Him and God
Man: When my dad went into the nursing home, it was like a desert for him. He was cut off from people.
Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: Sometimes God leads us into the desert so we’ll rely more on Him.
Man: All his life he’d been able to lean on his money, his success and reputation. Then all that was gone. It was just him and God.
Nancy: A verse in Deuteronomy says, “God led you all the way in the desert these forty years, to humble you” (8:2). We don’t always lean on God until He’s all we have.
Man: I saw him learn to depend on God more and more during that last season before he went to heaven.
Nancy: If you’re in a difficult, dry time, remember that it is an opportunity to learn humility. Live in total dependence on God. At the right time, He will lead you out of the desert.
With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
