Nobody volunteers for the wilderness, yet some of life’s deepest transformations happen there. The places we most want to escape are often the places where God quietly teaches us trust, patience, humility, and dependence. This week we’ll consider the possibility that God is doing more than bringing us through our wilderness—He may be using it to shape us.

Scripture: Deuteronomy 8:2–5
