We all can be certain that we will have wilderness seasons. This is no doubt a Biblical principle.
We do see that Biblical wilderness seasons had a specifically defined time period. We usually think of the wilderness in the context of our word for desert. In Biblical times the wilderness was usually a rocky, dry wasteland. A place in which people did not desire to be.
We also find in the Bible that wildernesses included places of refuge or sanctuary – an oasis if you will. Even though we may at times find ourselves in a wilderness season, in the midst of this season we can usually find a time of revitalization and a refreshing cool drink from the Lord.
Biblically, the wilderness could also be a place of refuge. Remember, David was forced to flee Saul and then entered a wilderness time and place. Even though his promise (from God) was not fulfilled during this time in the wilderness, the call of God on his life was not removed. It was protected. Saul did not and could not define who was David was or was to be.
You may be facing the wilderness. Remember this, God has not removed His hand from your life.
