Life is full of unwanted transitions.  Illness. Unemployment. Foreclosure. Family Crisis.  We can find ourselves in a place of uncertainty, where life is not as it once was and the future is in question.   

In this series, we are looking at the Israelite’s transition through the desert and recognizing it as our own. This is our story. Through life’s most difficult transitions, it is our response that will determine whether our journey through the desert will result in deep, lasting growth or prove destructive to the soul. 

"The Son radiates God's own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command," (Hebrews 1:3).

Have you ever considered turning away from Jesus because the temptation and persecution you face are so intense? For those who follow Jesus, there is nowhere else to turn and nowhere else to run. He is greater than our trials. He's greater than our pain. He is greater than anything to which we might run.

If Jesus is God, then he is the only one to whom we can turn. He is more than capable of carrying us through whatever we face.

Past sins. Failures. Hurts. Fears. Guilt. Is the baggage we're carrying - and all of us have baggage - preventing us from living the kind of lives God would have us live? What would happen if we would lay our baggage at his feet?
