In the Desert

I know I talk a lot about fear and trust. I also talk a lot about God's will and a time for everything. But I am going to say even more about it now... Sorry.

I am writing this no where near my normal time. Typically I get up, lay around for a while, then eat a yogurt and write my post. It is just after midnight now and I should be asleep. However, I wasn't sleeping and thought now would be a good time to write today's post since my actual day is going to be quite busy, quite early.

Anyway... I digress. I write a lot about fear because there are a lot of unknown things in my life. I write about trust because I feel like it is one way to conquer fear. I talk about God's will because I know I need to trust it. And I talk about a time for everything because I believe that even in the unknown it is the time for what is happening. I was laying here in bed thinking about Jesus in the desert. I bet there were moments that he was unsure. It was his time to be tested and tempted. I feel like I am in the desert. I am scared to death; I am lonely; it is dry; it is hot; I am tired; I am hungry and thirsty. The Word of God tells me that no temptation (or trial) has come upon me that wasn't experienced by Christ.  So today I will try to remember in the midst of the unknown that Christ has been there too.
