A Sun-Scorched Land

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: “The rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.” That’s a phrase from Psalm 68 that has often spoken to my heart. Sometimes we find ourselves in a dry, lonely place just because of our own rebellious hearts.

I remember a desert season in my life after the death of a close friend. First there was the natural grieving process. But then I became resentful and angry because God had taken this person home. I didn’t accept His plan.

For eighteen months I lived in a desert of my own making. The breakthrough finally came when I bowed before the Lord and said, “Yes, Lord. I accept Your will in this matter, and I give You thanks.”

If you’re in a desert because of some choices you’ve made, would you humble yourself? Accept God’s goodness and His purposes. Worship Him. In His time, He will lead you out of the desert.
