Wilderness to Green Pastures

Reading in Mark chapter eight and starting at verse one.  There are two words and ideas.

1.  Compassion: to feel sympathy towards someones pain or sorrow.  Jesus said, having compassion, those that had been listening to Him for days now, would be hungry and would faint if sent home.  He desired to feed them.  Believers today,  can show compassion as well.

2.  Wilderness;  They were away from town and all of the fast food spots. they were in a wilderness.  We like to talk mostly about our mountain top experience.  We leave gaps and refuse to share our wilderness times.

God can provide in our times of wilderness, which might consist of ;  doubt, sin, distraction, pride, finances etc. Jesus has compassion on you, where ever you might be.

Will you allow Him to meet you in your wilderness?  You will find Him compassionate.
