What the modern soul really needs is a grace-filled drought.

This is one the geniuses of wilderness time. God has used the wilderness as a special place for transformation through the ages by providing his people with “dry space”, where distractions are removed, and margin is created in the soil of people’s hearts to drink in and soak up his words:

As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his Gospel soak into your soul. – Charles Spurgeon

Now as much as ever we and our friends really need time in the wilderness to dry out to create space to soak up God. As we make margin for God we can go back into the valley of the city renewed. Being saturated with God guards us from the danger of being inundated with empty words. Being full of God we won’t have room for the lifeless bland words and ideas of the world. Sounds refreshing? This is what Jesus meant when he taught the Disciples to pray, “Your Kingdom Come.”

We see Jesus practicing this concept time and time again in his regular routine of getting away from the city to be alone with God. The strategies and ideas of the Kingdom were on the forefront of his mind at all times. Why? Because he spent time alone with God and was saturated with him. And through Christ, we too can follow this same path. Do you want to open yourself to God so he can reveal his Kingdom strategies for your life, school, family, workplace? Then I would highly recommend following his example of going off into the open space of his Creation for some dry-up time so he can saturate you with himself.

Wilderness is a special place for transformation providing "dry space" to remove distractions & create margin in the soil of people's hearts to soak up God.

What is Satan’s plan for your life? It is a profound question and one I never considered until God snuck up on me. I was sitting in a church service twelve years ago on a non-descript Sunday. The pastor was talking about God having a personal plan for our lives. And I sensed God asking […]
