Finding Grace
in the 21st Century Wilderness
God puts His people in the wilderness to bring us to Himself and remove anything that takes His place. It examines how His grace sustains us in the wilderness and prepares us for eternity with Him. It challenges God’s children to accept that if we want to experience His grace, our preferences cannot override His instruction. Prayerfully this writing will inspire its readers to embrace the lessons from one of the most difficult wilderness seasons of our time.
“When struggling with the vicissitudes of life, we sometimes lose perspective, preferring the comfort zone of “what was" then blame God in saying, “If only God had or if only He would.” Finding Grace snaps us back to the reality that, not only are we to trust in God’s faithfulness to see us through but also understand that others in need of grace are observing our character in the process. Others are impacted by our character responses “in the wilderness.”
