as you wandered in the wilderness.
as you wandered in the wilderness.
Remember how you learned that "one does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God".
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God".
Whether you feel like you are wandering in the wilderness, or are living in the promised land, or are journeying somewhere in between, what is your sense of how God is leading you and caring for you?
