The Wilderness

Hello,

Here I sit, on a rock, staring out at the beauty of God found in endless views of evergreens, rolling hills, and rivers criss-crossing the land. I am in the wilderness again. I find myself coming back again and again, longing to meet my LORD in endless nature. I find him in the trees, in the underbrush, in the water running and still, in the view at the top of the mountain, in the blue sky above. In the serenity of the babbling brook and chirping birds, the presence of God is deafening. How can anyone experience such magnificence and not stand in awe?

Lord, when I thirst for your presence, lead me to your wilderness.

But Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness for prayer.  - Luke 5:16
