#88 - Hearing God Speak - Exodus (pt. 15)

Today’s video explores the Hebrew word for wilderness – Midbar. If we take a step back and watch the movement of the Israelites from Egypt out to the wilderness, we see something unique. The Israelites move from a place of order – food, water, shelter – to a place of chaos – no water, no food, no shelter – and must become fully reliant upon God and his provisions. God has a purpose for bringing the Israelites out into the wilderness – it is where we learn to hear his voice. We all go through times of walking through the deserts in life, and they are never enjoyable, but we can learn to understand how they can bring us closer to God and celebrate Him even amid the chaos.
