It Takes a Desert Sometimes...

 


I wander through my desert

Grumbling at all that is not

Ignoring all the blessings

The manna God has brought.


I wander through my desert

Impatient with my God.

Not trusting in His timing

Believing it’s all flawed.


I wander through my desert

Wrapped up in all my grief

Thinking He has abandoned me

Left to the enemy, the thief. 


I wander through my desert

Ignoring how He provides

His loving hand is always there

Drawing us closer as he guides.


I wander through my desert

Complaining all the way

He tugs and pulls us nearer

In my blindness, I still stray.


I wander through my desert

Fearing the worst may finally come.

The cloud and fire remind me

Where my hope can now come from.


I wonder at His greatness

His great and perfect plan. 

My wanderings aren’t for naught

His refining has began.


For all my misconceptions

He saw to the very end.

Simply trust in all He is

We’ll get to the promised land.
