PREPARED IN PRIVATE FOR PUBLIC VICTORY
A WORD FROM THE WORD
"And Saul said to David, 'You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.' But David said to Saul 'Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it.'" 1 Samuel 17:33-35 NKJV
The wilderness was an equipping ground for David. It was in the wilderness that David got exposed to mortal dangers, there he learnt how to slay lions and bears also.
It was there in the wilderness that David learnt to defend the sheep in his care; it was in the wilderness that David became a man of war; it was in the same wilderness that David caught the revelation that birthed the famous Psalm 23.
The wilderness may have been uncomfortable and seemingly disadvantageous, nevertheless and more importantly, it was David’s training ground for his encounter with, and eventual success over Goliath, the Phillistines' champion.
The wilderness (of life) is an equipping ground for success for the individual Christian. It comes in diverse ways for God's children, uniquely designed by Heaven to meet you at the point of your specific requirements/needs. You may not like yours, but the life lessons you learn there will propel you to and sustain you on the top.
The lessons from your wilderness experience will become useful whenever any Goliath of life shows up.
The precepts of your wilderness experience will give you an advantage over those who have only known and operated from the comfort zone. Your wilderness experience will make you stronger, endue you with tenacity and singularity of purpose, it will make and not mar you.
Those around (including those who know) you, who do not understand God's dealings with you in your 'wilderness' might think it is a punishment or sign of rejection; but for those who understand, it is your training ground, a place of preparation for triumph after the trials.
PRAYER BULLETS:
ABBA Father, may my training by You in the wilderness of life never be in vain.
When You're done with me, O LORD, may I slay the Goliaths of my life to Your glory.
FURTHER READING:
Psalm 18:34; 1 Kings 19:1-19; Mark 1:12-13; 2 Corinthians 4:7-10; 1 Samuel 16 & 17.
