Desolate Places Carl Willis

In life, there are many things that God prepares us for, both great and small; however, preparation for greater things often requires that we visit desolate places. When you look at Scripture, you will see men like Elijah who had to go to the brook Cherith and Moses who had to journey through the wilderness. Even Jesus went to the wilderness to be tempted. It is in these desolate places where our faith is developed, our relationship with God is nurtured, and where we begin to discover more of His complete plan for our lives. It's in these desolate places where we are often faced with a choice between despair and hope, where we face our darkest fears, and in doing so, find ourselves becoming unbreakable.
