The desert is a place death, gloominess, dryness. Wow... The dry hot times spent in a real desert can cause death if not tended to properly. The freezing cold time in a real desert can cause death if not tended to properly. If I'm not able to shaking my flesh and its sinful nature that is the equivalent of me being in a desert. The worse part is it would not only cause my death but it will also affect those who are under my leadership. Being in the desert can make or break me. I can notice the new thing God is bringing to my life or I can live out my sinful desire. One thing for sure is God will always give me a way out... Will I take it is the question.
