Making Sense of the Wilderness

I'm right where You want me to be.
I believe it Today.
In Jesus' name. Amen.

It hit me this morning. With my current reading materials and going through the Book of Hebrews, I finally got a glimpse and finally accepted that God knows what He's doing. I needed this year off. It hurts and I don't like living like this. But I worshipped other gods. I had faith in other gods. We always have faith and worship something. We're always looking. I realized other the past year that some of my views about God were wrong. I can tell you what the Bible says but what I believed and experienced was different. So, reading Hebrews now is like reinforcing the Truth about Jesus. I see it more relational now. I really see Him as the Son of God, the High Priest, the one worthy of worship. Going to various churches, retreats, doing real work in small groups, doing accountability, having "facetime" with friends has changed everyting.

I know desire to commune with the High Priest; He calls me holy brother.

In the desert I'm finding an intimacy I would never know. ...
