Are you in a wilderness season? Lean in, listen, and lock in to what God is teaching you.
In this episode of 2 Minute Bible Study for Women On the Go, Katina Shoni Freeman begins with Luke 1:80 and reflects on John the Baptist, Jesus, and Israel in the wilderness. Through their stories, she teaches three things the wilderness can do for you: prepare you for purpose, strengthen you in your identity, and protect you.
Don’t despise the wilderness. Lean in, lock in, and listen to the voice of God.
Reflection: What lesson is God asking you to learn in this season?
Scripture references:
Luke 1:80 — John’s growth before his public appearance
