Every wilderness season increases the likelihood that we'll see God's supernatural power working for our good.
Expect the Unexpected! God leads us to places where His power shows up in new and astonishing ways.
When God allows you to face a "Red Sea," don't become discouraged. Don't whine and question the Lord's ability. Expect that God is positioning you to see Him work in your life in a unique and unusual way.
God's goal for our journey is that we not only see the miracle of His deliverance at our Red Seas but that we experience the miracle of His provision beyond them. The Lord wants us to thirst not after a quick fix to our problems but after the life-altering refreshment of Hid provision. Psalm 63:1
Scripture is clear that God hears and responds to the cries of His people.
2 Samuel 22:7 (The Message)
7 A hostile world! I called to God,
to my God I cried out.
From his palace he heard me call;
my cry brought me right into his presence—
a private audience!
When you find in yourself a gnawing hunger that you can't fill with any relationship, success or earthly resources, know that God is leading you to an opportunity to know Him as your Sustainer. God allows hunger so that you can know the satisfaction of a full spiritual tank. Matthew 5:6 says: Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
They (the Isrealites) (us) became blind to what God was doing in the now. Isreal's faith in God and view of their journey grew distorted, so they ignored truth about God's love and faithfulness.
The wilderness is a blessing meant to help us see God more fully and completely, to help us to love Himmore wholeheartedly, and to show us the importance of committing to Him above all else.
Salvation delivers you out of Egypt, but the wilderness is designed to work Egypt out of you and replace the prominence of its influence in your life. We must trust that God will choose to work in a way that both brings Him glory and serves His purposes for our lives. In the midst of our pain God makes a way for us to see and experience His greatness.
Our Wilderness Prayer: Lord this is what I desire. Please do it or something better.

We should refocus our attention on what He has accomplished and is accomplishing. We must force ourselves to recall the promises He has made, proactively claiming those promises reguardless of our feeling. Philippians 4:8 8Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

The same God who was willing to pay a price for His beloved people in the Old Testament is the same God who loved us so much. He was willing to pay a great high price in the New Testament.
