Wilderness Times

In the Wilderness from The Purple Cellar

All of us go through wilderness times. Perhaps you are in one right now. God kindly shows us through Moses' words that in times of difficulty--wilderness times--God is humbling us; in other words, he is breaking us of our self-sufficiency so that we learn to depend on him rather than on ourselves. Humility, in this sense, is learning that we not sufficient to run our own lives, and often we only learn this when we can no longer control our circumstances or make our dreams come true. Pastor Wilson reminded us of a great quote: "We don't know Jesus is all that we need until Jesus is all that we have."
