THE PILGRIMS GUIDE THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4, 2025 THE PLACE OF DIVINE ENCOUNTER A WORD FROM THE WORD: "He found him in a desert land And in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the apple of His eye." Deuteronomy 32:10 NKJV Sometimes, when in life and service, you come across situations and circumstances that tends to question the existence of God in your individual life. You should not blame God for the difficulties encountered along life's journey (your wilderness experiences), without firstly situating the challenges properly. Here are some guides to help you navigate: 1). You're not expected to walk yourself into the wilderness in order to experience it, but the LORD Himself walks you into it, He will lead you through it because He is training you for the better things ahead. 2). Because the wilderness is a very difficult place to pass through, you should not be rebellious or back out of the way midstream, because it is the LORD God your Maker who is leading you, He knows the way. Complaints and worries will likely take you away or hinder God's plan concerning your life. 3). If you don't accept, and pass through your wilderness, you may continually remain there, but when you pain-stakingly abide in God, and follow Him duly, He helps you to pass through the wilderness and graduate to a greater and higher level of walk with Him. Take hold and advantage of your journeys through the wilderness of life, they are your composite place of divine encounter. PRAYER BULLETS: LORD Jesus, thank You for Your many grace upon my life. Help me to pass through every wilderness that I encounter in life and benefit from the lessons provided.
