Conclusion

In this world like the wilderness, there are many troubles, worries, and anxieties.  We are worried and anxious about the necessities of life.  Also, we suffer in poverty.  Sometimes we are seriously troubled by hardships of our loved ones.  Not only that, we are often surprised and frightened by unexpected difficulties and hardships.  We ask why these things happen to us.  But the more we do so, the more often we complain and even blame in dissatisfaction.  We also try to work through ourselves in the midst of difficulties and hardships.  But the more we do so, the more we get stuck and we feel a sense of failure.  And sometimes we feel so trap that the solution to the problem is invisible.  And when the trap situation and hardships persist, we even feel our limit of patience in suffering and pains.  And we even feel despair in the thought of being humanly impossible for us to overcome those hardships.  We are exhausted by the pressure and aguish of our hearts.  We even feel our own weaknesses and helplessness.  But this crisis of our lives can be an opportunity that God gives us.  Although the crisis of our life can be a crisis that deteriorate, God is making even that crisis an opportunity for us to be transformed, to be holy and to imitate Jesus.  Crisis is also an opportunity for us to repent our sins and a great opportunity for us to hear God speak loudly to us through His megaphone.  Furthermore, crisis is an opportunity for us to experience God's saving power and God's presence.  In other words, crisis is an opportunity to see the glory of God.

Since the kingdom of God has already come upon us (Mt. 12:28), we receive God’s reign and rule.  So even though we  face crises such as, impossible, failure, weaknesses, being in need, conflict, complaint, anxiety, sadness, blockage, suffering, pain, the voice of resentment, anguish of heart, persecution and  revelation, even death, God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose (Rom. 8:28) and makes them as opportunities for us to see the glory of God.  Therefore, the wilderness is a place of opportunity, and the kingdom of God is a kingdom of opportunity!
