My Maker and best Friend is walking with me

I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert. (Isaiah 43:19 KJV)

 Walking with God is anything but predictable. The terrain we traverse with Him can vary from day to day. He does indeed lead us through plenty of “green pastures,” where His presence is impossible to doubt and His blessings rain down in abundance.
 There are also deserts and wildernesses which make life seem like one big drought. It seems the trek knows no end. The bareness and desolation stretch on for miles. Is it worth it to continue? we ask ourselves.
 I’m reminded of John the Baptist, who also spent some time in the desert before his mission of preparing the way for the coming of the Messiah, Jesus. He no doubt grew weary of “wilderness wandering” at times. Imagine living on a diet of “locusts and wild honey.” But the time spent in the desert was what prepared him to fulfill the calling God had mapped out for him.
 Although I still find myself in times of wilderness, I journey on, taking comfort in the fact that I’m not alone. My Maker and best Friend is walking with me and leading the way.
 If you find yourself in a desert place, don’t lose heart. Persist in faith and rest in the knowledge that “the man who walks with God always gets to his destination.” Furthermore, your desert trek may lead you to treasures that would not be found elsewhere. —Steve Hearts [1]

 Trust in God’s timing. It’s better to wait a while and have things fall into place than to rush and have everything fall apart. —Unknown
