the glory which You have given Me I have given to them; that they may be one, just

as We are one; I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the

These are not small lessons. It would seem that few actually perceive the purpose of

the wilderness testing in their lives. One of the greatest features of the wilderness is that
there is a scarcity of things that appeal to the flesh. There is little water, little greenery, few

trees, very little shade, or things that bring comfort. In the wilderness, Israel had manna for
food. Manna contained everything necessary to sustain their lives, but it held little appeal
