Walking with God

“The desert like an uninvited guest often arrives without notice. It visits us apropos of nothing. It comes in all shapes and sizes and shakes our souls to the deep. In the desert we fear panic cry grumble and groan. In the desert we quest and quest ponder and pray. We become thinkers wrestling with God’s silence and inaction….” “A new orientation a new direction for life begins with the right questions. It is triggered by questioning who we are what we are called for; different forms of the question “Where are you now?”“In the journey after Mount Horeb we are changed walking with a new heart and a new vision like Jacob. He was crippled but blessed through his wrestle with God in the Jabbok River. When Elijah left Mount Horeb for the place of life where he had been walking nothing surrounding him had changed but everything was changed because the call was renewed and he himself was changed. He with a new orientation of life started walking on the same old road.”From the book “Walking with God.”
