Are you in the wilderness?

We are all getting down to it sometimes and that is the time to pick up the Bible and start reading. When we start we probably do not understand what we are reading, but as our mind is starting to focus, the Holy Spirit is speaking to us. That’s how I came today to the last verse in Second Samuel 17:29 where it says ” The people have become hungry and tired and thirsty in the desert.”

During my time at Bible College one teacher said to us, “The Old Testament is the picture book of the New Testament.”

Three verses from the New Testament came to me straight away. John 6:35, where the Lord says about himself,”I am the bread of life.” That is for the hungry! Matthew 11:28, (was actually written over the entrance of a Church) where the Lord says that he will give us rest. That is for the tired people of God. And John 4:10, where it says that the Lord wants to give us living water. That is no doubt for the thirsty.
