"The voice of one crying in the wilderness;
Prepare the way of the Lord; make His paths straight."
Matthew 3:3
Wilderness is a time of preparation.
John the Baptist was called to prepare the way for Jesus' ministry.
Jesus was led to the wilderness.
God leads us through the wilderness, meaning He is there with us all the way if you still didn't get it!
Wilderness is not to crush us; for Jesus returned in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Wilderness is God's way to humble us and let us see how much we must lean on Him and not our understanding.
Wilderness is boring, distasteful and routine, Israel walked for 40 years with the same food, same scenery and same clothing!
Because it is a time God bless us with what we need, not what we want.
If all you ask from God is what you want and not what He wants for you, He will give you according to the desires of your heart. But at the expense of your passport to the promised land.
The children of Israel sought God for what they want, and never pass the wilderness test.
Beyond the wilderness, is the promised land!
Start (God gives you vision) -> Wilderness (God provide the pro-vision)-> Promised land (God fulfill His vision for you)
Endure! Perservere!
