You see the wilderness is not where God abandons people, it's where God forms them. Write that down. This is the space where God shapes and God molds and makes us into what we cannot be on our own. The wilderness is this space where God is leading and guiding and directing, and it's not that it's wasted space or hard space and that false flat uphill is hard. Yes, it is. But God is the one who is shaping and leading and guiding in this space if we'll trust him.
