“To get to the place where God wants you to be, you must go through the place where God needs you to be.”

That’s what I heard the Lord say last night.
I am sensing that most of us are in the “place where God needs us to be” right now. For Joseph it was the prison, for David the hills, for Jesus it was the wilderness, for Paul it was Arabia, for John it was the island of Patmos.
Rather than be in a big hurry to get out of where we are simply because it is not comfortable, could we see this as a time when the Holy Spirit can work on us and prepare our hearts for taking us to “where God wants us to be?”
