When we do not have a relationship with God resulting in revelatory understanding for our lives, we will not be able to restrain ourselves to make good choices allowing us to live in the fulfillment of the promises of God. It is like the Israelites when they were in the wilderness...they kept trying to accomplish God’s plan in their own strength and abilities. They were moving in the strength of the flesh and not the Spirit. It was the way of the wilderness to strive and work hard in the flesh to fulfill God’s promises for ourselves.
The wilderness is a place where we come to recognize our own weaknesses and failures so that we can learn to quit relying on our own strength. It is the place where we can begin to rely on His strength trusting Him at His very word. The wilderness is a place where there are no distractions so that we learn to develop intimacy with God by waiting on Him. It is a place to receive a revelation; we are not trying to reach a destination - God is our destination!

The wilderness is a place we never want to go, but for growth, we all need to go there.
