'Paran.'
a) Genesis 14:6. It was by the wilderness. The Horites lived there. It was a place abounding in foliage and caverns.
b) Numbers 12:16. God's people stayed there.
c) Numbers 13:3. Moses sent out the spies to the Promised Land from there. Here was a great place to hide, plan and prepare before taking "The Promised Land".
(This QT teaches me a little more about Paran)
PRAY: For readiness to inherit the Promises of God.

'We See Jesus.'
Hebrews 2:9.
This is a challenge to us now. How do we see Jesus now? What is the reality?
a) We see Jesus,
b) Who, for a little while,
c) Was made lower than the Angels,
d) Crowned with Glory and Honour,
e) Because of the suffering of death,
f) So that, by the Grace of God
g) He might taste death for everyone.
(Through this Second one I rejoice that 'We See Jesus' in the Biblical way)
PRAY: Give thanks to God that by the Grace of God, Jesus has tasted death for us in order that we can live.

Chris.
Some of us may literally be living in a wilderness area, where the rain is infrequent in coming and the land is so dry. Yet we have been able to settle and enjoy life there. Others of us may be living in a spiritual wilderness, where everything, including Church, seems so dry. Yet others may be living in an emotional wilderness after suffering from the actions of other people, the emotional wilderness can lead to the relational wilderness. It is correct to say that God will lead us out of the wilderness, keep trusting Him.
