Psalm 84 verse 7 that go from strength to strength, they keep moving forward. There are different ways that you can help us work for the Wilderness, throwing strength, from God. The primary ways to look at God's instruction book is manual for Life, The Bible and apply what we find that Let's look at three very short, passages in the Bible, starting with Isaiah 43 1819.
A couple of weeks ago, this was a memory of us, does anyone remember it? That's opening trade. Previous memory of us. Do not dwell on the past. Say I am doing a new thing. Now it Springs up. Do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the Wasteland. Forget the former things do not dwell on the past. This is a concerted effort to come to find out more helpful translation of this. It says, do not remember the former things as I said before the time and place to consider the past to deal with, what needs to be dealt with and celebrate, what should be celebrated, but the past is not talked her into dress, it's not a place to dwell.

And pay attention to it, not ignore it and just going around in your mind. Whatever has happened in the past. It's like you, but you ain't see, then you single or you staying until you truly not go. What's going on before?
As a social account, I remember seeing a guy and he'd lost his wife. About three years prior to, my meeting minimize Otis Mass, the pain, he went through for his lost. But his fear was that, his wife had died as a result of which may or may not have to. I've no, I did. But since she wasn't continuously on that, he was missing the gift of life that remained. It was the first thing I heard when I visited him and was very hard to keep him on track to assess his own needs. I also heard the story each subsequent visit it happens by election time and then pee came to the door and he
It was constantly, as in. This guy's mind. I knew wasn't waiting on, and it wasn't helping him. Sometimes we have to live with an ounce of questions. I'm trust in the one who is love. Trust in his character? Trust in the one perfect parents or Father in heaven. I can only encourage us to Preston to the Loading. Keep pressing and I'm not run away or get stuck on the question. Why? I think it's funny but really important.
One of the main ways, I know it has to do with an ounce of questions is to trust in God's parents, and he is love. He is the one perfect parents, he knows the bigger picture, keep it simple because when your brain is costed with unanswered questions and all the emotions that they give rise to, it really helps. Thank you for some simple treats like that. Goddess. Loc hair salon perfect parent. He knows to pick the bigger picture. I will trust in him. That part is your choice, your decision, and you may need to keep my king it recognized prophesy. And at times, but, but it's so worth it. The right decisions aren't always the easiest ones. I never thought I would ever quite the tennis player Maria Sharapova in a sermon for that. She came from a recent interview with her, the right decisions. Aren't always the easiest phones.
Isaiah 43 verse 19. See, I am doing a new thing. Now it Springs up. Do you not perceive it when he not give heed to it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the Wasteland. When we go through the Wilderness, it's time. Polson to keep heart and thoughts and our eyes on the Lord. So we don't miss the new things he's doing in our lives. If we keep looking behind, we're going to see what's ahead. I know someone who's been through something difficult as of a small chocolate yesterday. I'm at times, it has robbed them of that piece and I have to say, I'm Sunday play when talking to them more and more, these last months, a prostitute thankfulness to God in the midst of the situation, but super good pets to the person could still say despite the situation as well as forgot himself and all the amazing things that she's done for us. Yes, there are still things to do relationship situation. Which wasn't the person suing, but this person is looking ahead. I'm not tying themselves and tossed them to give notice fixing us or complaining. The Hebrew word for Wilderness. Also means uninhabited, man, do that.
It's not really great place. If you want to find a good roads and good signpost, that's why it's easy to get lost in them and I will even bite your way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He will show us a way through, he will show you the way through.

Find some nice cozy, Spot bar in the street busts, and or challenging, for whatever reason, But the will of the Lord will provide for us the refreshing that we need. All decision not to dwell on the past, but keep our eyes open to what the Lord is doing. Will help us to do what it says in Philippians 4 verses 6 to 7, which is our second instruction that will help us walk through the wilderness.
Cyclopean School versus 6 to 7, and I'm going to resend the message version. Thanks for asking worry instead of worrying, pray that petitions and Praises shape your worries into trust lesson, God know your concerns before you know it a sense of God's holiness everything coming together for good will come and suck on you down. It's wonderful. What happens when Christ this place is worried that the center of your line
Saturnia. Where is Enterprise with price, which can be sacrificed when the questions and peace shall be yours. I don't think we can never overestimate the importance of Thanksgiving and praise and worship in the midst of the Wilderness in the midst of a possible of the general challenges of life. God will always be worthy of his nature or what he's done for us. And for Jesus, Thanksgiving and praise and worship. Help us to take our eyes off. What is going on around us and keep them on the one whose ways are higher than our ways and to school supplies and also 55 Bethel giving him a very different perspective on what's going on around us. Don't forget the former things, don't worry and drive it can help us navigate through the Wilderness, which would look at now which is found in all of us.
Do not conform to the passengers at this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you'll be able to test and prove what God's will is his good pleasing, and perfect will I read his testimony recently about the guy and it said, The more time he spends in the wood, the more he was transformed by the renewing of his mind. It was a radical change in him.
That's it. In a nutshell that is how I'll Minds will be with you because the word of God will help us change our thought patterns the way we think. So we think more like go, thanks. So when we're in the wilderness when we got no work today, the obvious thing is to pray and listen and study the Bible. We can also use Sanctified common sense. In other words, what we already know it's God through his was an alright experience of him. We can talk. Fix a line. I may not have been in a specific situation with Simon speaking to him a good percentage of the time. Otherwise I am not God.
Been transformed by the renewing of our minds by spending time and God's word. Helps us to understand how he thinks I can therefore help guide us when we don't know what today. We go through Wilderness experience, it's for different reasons, it will look at today, but those are goats mating like, Jesus being led by the Holy Spirit and there's the truth. I read my jeans you to disobey dance like, David by sheebah. The Wilderness experience is a ghost. Making will always be for a purpose that is not random for me. Matthew 4:1 is very clear that Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit. Into the Wilderness. So that's up to be tempted tested and tried by the devil as it says in the top and come to find version that was the pups of it and there's so much that we can learn from his experience as a few things today. The first name Jesus. With temptations by drawing on the word of God that was already implanted within him. As it says in Matthew four of us straight but double said to him, if you are the Son of God, tell these things become bread and Jesus on certain it is written man shall not live on bread alone. That means but keep making right choices what to do with the Temptation. The word of God needs to be inside Us in order for it to come out when we need it. I wasted you read the books that have me. Mom is the story of a Chinese Christian. Probably, I don't know how many books of the Bible he memorized and you did to write. I don't know how many books of the Bible he memorized it wasn't just chapter 7 line buses. I'm distance to sign him through persecution and torture hands of Chinese authorities during times. He was in prison without the Bible. We may not feel able to memorize that much. Have to say, I do understand that I may never need to enjoy what he enjoys but it doesn't change the fact that Jesus needed the word of God to do with Temptations and trials. We thought in these day, Studying the word of God meditation on it learning. It will help us to create a habit of Godly thought patterns that will help us to keep making right. Choices to tighten screw with enough experiences through challenges and a Godly way that will give honor and glory to him.
Second Point. Jesus understands what it is to be alone and tempted. Hebrews 4:15 says, we do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our Witnesses, but was in all points. Time to this, we are yet without send the passion translation says he understands Humanity. In Matthew 4:3, the devil said to Jesus. If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread. And Jesus on certain it is written man shall not live on bread alone. The devil was may be questioning. Jesus identity has a son of God and don't want you to go Jesus and surprising it either way, Jesus responded as the son of man as a man, because he shall not live on bread alone, but Jesus response man shall not live by bread. Alone would not have been relevant. If you've done everything that, she tells the son of God. Jesus experienced what it is to be a mom alone and tempted but didn't give in That's so he can help us to do with temptation.
The set point is that Jesus was on his side in the Wilson us, sometimes we all see him and he's faking, I will never fail, I will never abandon you. Sometimes people come alongside us and supposed to throw Wilderness experience says, I can name very quickly. The people have done that to me in recent yes. I thought that line. Nice what it means to me. how to say that include Simon, he's probably got a fair idea who else I'm thinking of, but it means so much increase our time. So we do just goes along with the Lord and toughest it can be, there are lessons. We can learn in the desert.
Skip just one example. Humility learning to receive when you are a habitual kefir. But not in a position to reciprocate, is a puff one. Whether we like it or not, it's a private got snow. And we have to re-evaluate where we got some sense of self-worth. From what is it reason? Cedar Wilderness experience is the Colts Mighty Mite, Jesus experience is caused by a registered agent. David and Bathsheba C of six on plastic counters in the second book of Samuel chapter 11. It stopped in the spring when came so. Battle David sent his Angel, but he stayed at home. One day is working on the roof of his house and he saw a beautiful woman washing, I found out who she was. It was the wife of Uriah Davis and the rains have your wife killed him.
David's pour into walls and started because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It was at Homestead about fighting when Kingsland Sparkle. That's a first lesson in avoiding chips Into the Wilderness due to disobedience. See what you can, spend the right place at the right time and avoids being in the wrong place. FriXion pen off contacts. Today that say your marriage be mindful. If you working lights up your face and it writing involves you being alone with a member of the opposite sex and you recognize you got on well unless the potential for more Nepotism in the bus leave on time. Work from home. If you have to do something, sometimes the solution is practical. If you don't, if it in the butt, one thing to let you know that I could date for diabetics. He didn't have to ask who the woman was. He could have just turned away. I needed that they have to take any action on learning who she was. Awesome. When we send there points, where we can hold the chain of events, if we so choose, we can also help. We can choose what we think about. We can learn from David's mistakes. He's dug himself, a big hole and jump Triton, which led to a big detour Into the Wilderness where one serious and stage one really about to send that to another second point, if I only had time to way as soon as he's, so about you,
If Ian is not helpful. There is no point wasting time or monthly energy on if only, it's never change, what happens if you are a mistake or those of other people but it affected us. Instead focusing. What's necessary to move forward? I'm at that point, it was only when David hits of Crisis, but you ten bucks, the Lord. The prophet Nathan spoke to David and told him that the child that he had his best Shiva with die. David Duke responds fast and pray for the child, the child size. But they was not conditional on God's healing the child. He worshipped in any way threatened to Samuel 12:20, amazing and blessed, David Solomon. David's decisions. Greatly impacted how long he spent in the Wilderness at the point where he genuinely, repented, and worship God his time in the wilderness.

I find something Joyce Meyers, has helpful in an obstacle in her everyday life Bible which is the Catholic version. Your decision Tobago, the facts of a people.

Thank you. Yes Man. First I want to say it makes it here in the wilderness. You don't have to stay there. You don't have to stay the same one. I seen the number of times, I remember the ass and a bit like your friend. You talk about who don't stop. I heard the same story. I might use the same story when I had a conversation with the last time I met. So I came out and she went to the Loo or so while she was making it to in the comfy and I stood in the loo and I went I saw how could she still be stuck here? It's like something. And then I walked back in the night, took a step about this and said I had an opportunity to pry. She still start when she's not stuck. I go can help us if we would just reach out to him, we are not alone. Even in the wilderness we all know that alone. And so take these words and meditates on them we will find ourselves in the wilderness from time to time. So let's not get into a pity party. That's why I don't understand what it is. The go bus to take just or understand what it is the closest to get off track.
