to the fleshly appetites.

As God takes us through the wilderness, we will experience the same meagerness of
that which appeals to the flesh. God is testing us to see if we will be content with His

provision and His will for us. This is part of embracing the cross. We must crucify the flesh
with its desires and lusts.

The reward we seek is not the fulfillment of the flesh and its lusts, rather, it is a
heavenly reward. We seek the presence of Christ. We seek to lay hold of that for which we

were laid hold of by Christ Yahshua (Philippians 3:12).

Philippians 3:8
More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of

knowing Christ Yahshua my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things,
and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ

This is the heart of the Bride, a desire to know Christ. The wilderness is intended to

strip all else away until we are left with one ambition, one goal, to know Christ and to gain

Him as our inheritance. When we are leaning completely on Him, we will be ready to come
up out of the wilderness. We will be ready to enter into our possession.
