One of the most fundamental barriers to serving God is our apparent lack of resources. We fear that if we follow where He leads, we will end up destitute. Like Israel we stand on the borders of Egypt and gaze into the wilderness and we see in that barren wasteland no possible way of surviving. We find ourselves caught between God’s call to follow and our own logic which says this is impossible. But it’s in the wilderness that we discover God’s commitment to us. Our own resources quickly run out leaving us in desperate need and this desperation forces us to turn to God for help. And when we do, we see Him miraculously meet our needs again and again.
