Welcome the Wilderness Sample

Welcome the Wilderness

DAY 9 OF 14

What Grows in the Desert 

It takes the wilderness to grow the sort of blooms that stand tall for hundreds of years. 

The problem with the wilderness is that we think nothing can live there. We think of the wilderness as a desolate, infertile place. And while the wilderness is a harsh terrain, it is not impossible for life to sprout there. 

Did you know that a Saguaro cactus can live up to 175 years? Sometimes they can live even longer, surpassing 200 years! 

Do you know where to find a Saguaro cactus? These massive, larger-than-life, age-old giants that have seen our world change countless times over—only grow in the wilderness. 

The wilderness grows tough stuff. The wilderness cultivates life-long strength that can stand the test of time. 

So welcome all that the wilderness can grow in you when you find yourself standing dab in the middle of it. God’s going to use it to build you up and walk with you through it.
