Wilderness
Sign in to rateThe wilderness has a prominent place in the Bible. It’s the place where the most foundational pieces of Scripture were written. When God led His people out of Egyptian slavery He didn’t bring them immediately into the land flowing with milk and honey. There was work to be done—a people to be formed—a culture to be created—an identity to be bestowed. And for this work God chose the wilderness.
