Nothing WastedSample

Within a wilderness season it’s easy to wonder whether there has been any fruit or value to what’s been experienced. In the midst of challenging days, we can forget and underestimate what has emerged within us from the wilderness in which we’ve walked. 

There is opportunity continually to learn and grow. Every season has its lessons that we need to learn. If we aren’t able to recognize what we’ve learned or where we’ve grown, there’s a chance we will have to learn those necessary God-lessons at a later time. 

Jesus’ days in the wilderness reveal that nothing is wasted. Each of Jesus’ temptations and tests help show us how to step into all He’s called us to. Testing proves what we’ve learned so we can better serve others and reflect Christ.
