when we fail to follow
our call
when we deny Christ,
when we run away, as they
did
wilderness when. . .
we seem to be wrestling
with evil
falling into the grip of
the Tempter
into the pit of our own
despair
lost in the wilderness
wandering away from God
needing to turn to the
word
to the ancient text
protection there for us
just as there was for
Christ
when he was in the
wilderness
