Wilderness experience..

Hello steemians welcome to my blog.
Many of us have had this terrible experience in one way or the other, but the question is " what was your reaction during this experience"?

The wilderness is an unpleasant place humanly speaking. We naturally want prosperity, health and other material things of the world. But the same God who created the garden also created the wilderness. There will be times of trial and pressure, our faith will be tested but the God of grace will meet us even in the wilderness.

Let's ask ourselves this question, What is wilderness experience?
The truth is this; "wilderness experience" is often a time of intensified temptation and spiritual attack. It can involve a spiritual, financial or emotional drought.
Note: Having a "wilderness experience is not necessarily a sign that a believer is sinning; rather, it is a time of ordained testing.

A "wilderness experience" is often linked to a "mountaintop experience"; that is the struggle ( wilderness) which follows success of some kind ( mountaintop).

Lessson: the period of trial comes on the heels of a period of accomplishment or achievement.

You may struggle simply to survive from day to day. Financial material, physical or emotional burdens may press on you. The flesh cries out for relief, then you are forced to wait on the lord. Find God's peace and joy in the midst of your trial, you will see the miraculous work of God in your life.

Note: there is always divine reinforcement to assist you during your wilderness experience. But do not relent in your faith

This is a very interesting and enjoyable read :) I know that I have had a few wilderness experiences myself where I feel at the mercy of the fates. Being unemployed due to unexpected redundancy is definitely a wilderness, as you are thrown into such uncertainty, sometimes it's difficult to know what to do for the best! We can only try our best and trust that things will work out :)

On a realted note, I remember once reading about the Samurai warriors of old who would spend time as Ronin, where they would serve no master and venture out into the world on their own. Many feared doing this as it meant living without the support or the greater sense of duty that serving a supervisor would bring them, but it was also said that you could not be called a true Samurai unless you had endured Ronin at least once in your life. That to me seemed very much akin to the fear of unemployment.
