There was a fly trapped in the house a few days. When we finally were able to open the mesh where it was trapped in the window, we let it out. When we went back a bit later the fly was sitting on the ledge!?
This is what we do sometimes when we are delivered from something not good for us. For example a bad friendship, romantic or professional relationship and our life before Christ. We want to go back to what was familiar even though it was not good for us.
Although it is not comfortable. It is better to move forward in discomfort for a little bit now in order to achieve the ultimate success of a healthier situation going forward.
We all have or will have a wilderness experience, but remember that the children of Israel had to go through the wilderness to get to the promised land!
