We all want to experience God's presence, but so few of us understand how. Some of us try too hard and put all the pressure on ourselves. Others are too passive, assuming that if God wants to show up, then that's up to Him.

God rescued His people from slavery, yet they still identified with their old life. He desired more for them — not just to be called His children, but to live as His children. In the same way, God uses our wilderness seasons to reshape our identity, reveal our purpose, and draw us closer to Him, even in the midst of difficulty.

The Lord is asking those of us who have been trapped and terrified to break camp and take a step of faith. Where do you feel enslaved by fear? If God showed up to be exactly who He says He is in that area, what would your step of faith look like?
