Seeing is Not Believing | In the Wilderness
The Wilderness is the place in-between PROMISE and FULFILLMENT.
We are not where we HAVE BEEN, and we are not yet where we WILL BE.
When you’re in the wilderness, SEEING is not BELIEVING.
Twelve men went to spy on Canaan. TEN were bad. TWO were good.
God is FAITHFUL, and He will let His people REBEL.
Nostalgia is DANGEROUS. It LIES to you and gets you to LIE to yourself.
REMEMBRANCE tells the truth and EMPOWERS you in the moment.
BELIEVING unlocks EVERYTHING.
