The desert is one of God's primary tools for character and faith development.

What should we do when we find ourselves in the desert?

1. Hold onto the person and promise of God.

2. You have to cooperate with God's chaffing process.

3. Listen closely for God's voice.

4. Grow in your appreciation of what Jesus did for you.

Closing Thought:

The desert IS NOT punishment or abandonment but a place of life-transformation.
