Footsteps to Zion

We would like to talk about the subject of wandering. Webster defines wandering as "to move about without a fixed course, aim, or goal." There are two types of wandering in the Scriptures and this is what we want to know by the grace of God : 1. Wandering as a FORM OF JUDGMENT. 2. Wandering with PURPOSE.
