In a Rough Place? There is purpose in your pain!

Are you in a rough place? Are you in a place of lack? Turmoil, or tribulation? A wilderness perhaps?

There are a myriad of circumstances that come up in our lives that can be absolutely devastating to us. The effect can hurt us emotionally, financially, physically, socially, and spiritually. In fact, such an event can lead us into a wilderness. A place of destitution. A place that is seemingly without hope.
But, there is hope. I've got great news for you! There is purpose in your pain. 

In the book of Exodus chapter 4 verse 27 the Lord told Aaron "go into to the desert to meet Moses." Isn't that odd? God sent someone into a place like the desert or wilderness to seek help. Why not at someone's home, or at the water well? Only a sovereign and all powerful God would send you into a place like a desert to get help. Only God can send you into what, at all appearances, look to be a state of detriment in order to supply your need!

Moses was in the desert to get help, Aaron was in the desert to be help. Which one are you? Why are you there? Why has God lead you into this wilderness?

Be encouraged, as you are going into these times/places understanding that God has a purpose for you being there. You never know, your help just might be in the desert!

I bet you're wondering about the result of this meeting in the desert… At the end of verse 31, after this powwow in the desert, the Children of Israel bowed their heads and worshiped.

I love you, and I am praying for you.
