When you book your vacation, what do you look for in a destination? You'd likely want to ensure there were places to stay and ways to get food. You'd want to have your basic needs provided for. Otherwise, you'd probably think about going somewhere else.
But Jesus draws us in. When we focus on Jesus, we are willing to go to desolate places. He invites us there, because everything is stripped away in the desolate places. Ever notice how much time you spend in the kitchen preparing meals? You can't do that in a desolate place. There are no distractions there -- only you and the Word of God.
There are ways to recreate this in your own life. You don't have to disappear deep into the wilderness. Just find a quiet spot in your home, turn off your phone, and just be. Jesus is enough.
