He led his people through the wilderness, for his love endures forever. — Ps 136:16

“God could have brought Israel to the Promised Land by many routes, but He chose the wilderness so that they might appreciate their dependence on Him, experience His providence, and learn to trust Him. The wilderness was an expression of God’s love for Israel. It is the same for us. When we feel lost in the wilderness, God is drawing us closer to Him.”
