The wilderness is not a dwelling place!
The wilderness is a dry and barren land where there is little or no water. After crossing the red sea the Israelites traveled three days in the wilderness of Shur without finding any water. They were thirsty and all their food and water which they carried from Egypt were depleted.
Finally, they found water in Marah but it was bitter and the people could not drink it. Immediately, they began to complain against Moses. So Moses prayed to the Lord who then instructed him to cut a tree and put it into the water which miraculously became palatable.
Whenever our focus is on the needs of the flesh, temptation can easily overcome us. Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness without food, yet, did not complain. Instead, Christ put His flesh under subjection so that He did not surrender to the tricks of the devil (Matthew 4).
Complaining during difficult times will encourage toxic thoughts to develop that can poison your mind. The Tree of Life which is the living Word of God will refresh and cleanse your spirit during the dry spells in your finances or relationships with friends and family.
