In this episode we look at God's intentions towards us as we pass through wilderness experiences. God allows us to go through wilderness experiences so that he can take us through a process of revealing what is in our hearts, and developing our dependence on him. God actually discovers things about us in our wilderness experiences. For example, he discovers whether or not we will allow him to Father us through difficult times. He discovers our loyalty and responsiveness to his commandments. One of the primary things he wants to discover (and develop) in us is our desire and sensitivity to hear his voice and respond in trusting obedience. Discovering these things about us in the wilderness is important to God because it let's him know that we are open to him advancing us along his developmental path. He wants to Father us into maturity so that we can steward our inheritance as his firstborn sons and daughters.
This is exactly what Jesus, the Israelite Son of God, allowed the Father to do during his wilderness experience of temptation with the devil. He relied on the words that came from the mouth of the Father to advance him along God's developmental path, leading him further in God's developmental process than any other Israelite had been able to go.
