I am reading the Dune cycle (Frank & Brian Herbert) right now so desert imagery is fresh in my mind. Some see deserts as dry, arid and uninviting - I see deserts as clean, pure and beautiful. A desert is a place the is not cluttered or overrun with the business of life. Deserts are places of solitude and contemplation. May times in the bible we find men of God leaving behind the cities and farms ad heading off into the desert to be alone. They spent time with God and themselves. They examined their heart and looked for guidance.
There are many times in our lives that we feel that God has us "in the desert." Instead of feeling that we are being ignored, perhaps we could look at this as an opportunity to grow and learn God's heart.
blessings on your day
