Reseña del libro "While in the Desert: Reflections of me and What god Requires (en Inglés)"
How did I get here? Why am I here? How long is this going to last?Have you ever gotten a promise from God, obeyed his word, and still found yourself in unfavorable circumstances? You thought you missed God, it made you question if you heard him correctly. I want to assure you, YOU HEARD CORRECTLY. The Desert was not made to destroy you, but to build you up. “How in the world can I be built up in the desert? The answer is because ”nothing” is there. It’s easy to focus on surroundings when they are present, but in doing so you pay more attention to what you can see instead of what needs attention. What needs attention is you inner man. In Theatre, when you start rehearsing you don’t have a full set, you don’t have props or an audience. You have the bare minimum and a director that instructs you to work on YOU! Rehearsal is the process you go through for your growth and development so that when it’s time for the audience to see, they see excellence. Same with the desert, it’s the place where introspection is key so that when your promise manifests that it remains. Your desert will be hard and taxing, but this will be a tool in your hand to fight the wiles of the devil while you’re there. You’ll never reach the mountain of promise without, first, journeying through the desert of process. I, too, faced many deserts but one thing I grasped this last time is that the desert isn’t a murderer but rather a teacher. As I fasted for 21 Days, in the midst of a desert experience, God did something amazing. God led me to water daily, let me see myself, and offered me a better way. Let’s reach maturity and wholeness together!
