Stars in the Desert

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: There’s a certain kind of beauty that’s only found in the desert. When you can get away from the competing lights of the city, you can see the stars shining brilliantly.

That can be true in life, too. You may be working for a hard-to-please boss. You may be facing a difficult move. You might have some financial pressure or a health issue. Each of these could be considered a desert experience. But there are aspects of God that we can’t see unless we’re in the desert.

• The desert is a place of danger, and that’s where we learn that God is our protection.
• The desert is a place of dryness, and that’s where we learn that God is our provider.
• The desert is a desolate, and that’s where we learn that God will always be with us.

Are you in a desert? Gaze up above your situation to the brilliant light of God’s glory. Ask Him to show you more of His beauty during this time.

With Seeking Him, I’m Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth.
