The Israelites experienced it. Jesus experienced it. You, either have or will, experience it. Although never easy, wilderness seasons are necessary. It's in the wilderness seasons of life that God shapes us in to the person that He desires us to be. But what perspective can we keep in the wilderness? What can we learn there?

The number of one opportunity on earth is the opportunity to be friends with the God of the universe. The number one compliment of heaven is when God Himself calls you His friend. But the number one responsibility in this life is God asking you to bring Him more friends. So how do we become friends with God? How do we know that he even wants more friends? And what role can we play in bringing Him more friends?

The day Jesus performed His first miracle was also the day we hear the last recorded words from His mother, Mary --- “Whatever He says to you, do it.” But what does it look like to live a life of obedience to Jesus?
