Tired of living in the wilderness instead of the Promised Land? Are you living beside the promises of God instead of in them?
The wilderness journey of the children of Israel is much more than history; it’s a roadmap, a blueprint written in human lives thousands of years ago. This complex story full of drama, emotion, intrigue, and death is fascinating, but more amazing is what it means to God’s church today. What happened then is happening now and the journey continues on in us.
Hidden within the story and the lives of those who were the original cast members, this intriguing story parallels the journey we each must take from slavery to freedom. The improbable plot line includes an eighty-plus year old leader and people of all ages, sizes, and capabilities who fled into the desert without enough food, water, or strategy. And yet, they not only survived but, the story of their trek has been carved into the annals of history as the original “Great Escape.”
This wilderness adventure included raging seas which split in two, rivers bursting out of rocks, food falling from the sky, and battles which hinged on one man’s arms. It’s a tale of two nations, the best of times and the worst of times. The children of Israel were people just like you and me. They had hopes, dreams, and fears. They had their moments of faith and their seasons of doubt, and they had audacious obedience followed by acts of self-destructive rebellion. Sound familiar?
We can learn much from re-tracing their steps and interpreting them in such a way that makes their journey a step-by-step guide for us as we too, have to make the journey to freedom. This book is both historical and current, it’s the past and it’s the future all interwoven into one impossible journey.
If you’re ready to leave “Egypt” and find out what personal promises and revelations are waiting for you, then step back into history and into your future with “Are We There Yet?” Surviving the Wilderness.
