Duh....

God has a sense of humor. Last night, I was listening to a sermon by John Ortberg, and I realized that I assumed the wilderness was a mistake on God’s part. Did the Israelites get lost because God didn’t know where they were going?? Did God have a plan for that period of time?

I don’t know the answers yet because I haven’t studied the passages. But for sure it wasn’t a mistake or an error or a failing on God’s part.

Did he use the wilderness to punish? Or to refine? If He used it as a form of punishment, why send so many miracles? Can’t wait to learn more.

I'm listening to a lot of sermons because I'm trying to get away from TV, and because I'm just too tired to read.
