The first chapter reminds me of Psalm 91:5,6— “You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday.�—isn’t it a comparable scene in description of the topic of Wilderness, where heat, drought, and any other circumstances, like terror, arrow, and plague in the psalm, are all harmful to a basic human living? Many years ago as seminary students we heard of stories from our predecessors that to minister in the church is like a soldier struggling to survive in the “rain of guns and bullets�. Why does church become so difficult for pastors sometimes? After graduated from GCTS I was invited to join a local church as pastor some ten years ago. A pastor friend of my prayed for me before we left Massachusetts for the new journey. He intentionally quoted the last lines of the Lord’s Prayer: “Deliver us from the evil�, he prayed. Later in the ministry I indeed experienced the heat, drought, arrow, plague in the desert of the pastoral life. Evil may work even in a church. We do enter a wilderness like Jesus. It is privilege and yet tough to be like Jesus in such a way of pastoral life.
