Lost in the Desert

Have you ever found yourself lost? A few years back I was driving from Ohio to California, and somehow I became lost in the middle of the desert. There were no signs, and no rest stops, and when the four lane Highway I was on became a two lane highway, I became a little frantic. But the majority of my fear came when this paved road turned into an all dirt road, this is when I knew I was lost.

I noticed that the tumble weeds appeared much bigger, the Joshua trees and cactus appeared to be laughing at me, and the gas tank needle; yep I was nearing the last of my fuel reserve. I thought my journey had ended, I began curling myself into the fetal position so I could cry, But Thankfully that was unnecessary. A few minutes later I ran into a fellow who was able guide my way out of the desert, and why? Because he knew the area, he knew the terrain, he knew something I didn’t know; how to get back on track.

You know sometimes  life may feel like we have wondered into an uncharted desert terrain of life, we can easily feel lost at times, unsure of what to do in life; so where do we turn when the road is narrowing? Scripture says in the book of James 1:5 if any man lacks wisdom let him ask of God, who gives openly. That’s right, if you’ve found yourself to be wondering the desert, hopeless, and aimless, call on the lord who has the wisdom to help you find hope, and life again; and why? Because like my friend in the desert, God knows the area of your life, he knows where you are, and He know how to get you back on track; ultimately God wants you to find your way home.
