On Isaiah 50:10-11: “God takes us into desert places without light, and he will not allow us to bring light into the desert nor will he allow us to strike stones together to start a spark. God promises torment to those who plant torches in the sand to encircle themselves and keep the beasts at bay. ‘Face the darkness with nothing but me,’ says the Lord. Simply sit.”

“I would have denied it at the time, of course, but it takes no great sleuth to deduce that my willingness to encounter God remained limited to relatively painless life experiences. If a person truly desires God, he must welcome whatever means God uses to initiate that encounter, whether laughter or grief....He was pressing in on me until I sat still and listened to his quiet voice in my own personal wilderness.”

‘Ah, God, deliver me from this wilderness!’ I cried inside. ‘What good is a lame life?’ And so I squirmed in my soul.”
