Some people find themselves in the wilderness by eliminating all distractions from civilization and experiencing the beauty that wilderness has to offer. Others receive inner peace from wilderness because the wilderness gives them a sense of belonging and silence to channel their inner emotions. Some people get the sense of accomplishment by proving to themselves that they can do anything by staying in the wilderness for an extended period of time with or without the help of others.

From an early age, Tobit 's faithfulness is tested when many of his people stop being faithful to God and start offering sacrifices and worshiping the calf god Baal (Tobit 1:5). His faithfulness is further tested when he and his tribe are exiled to Nineveh and they are forced to live among the Gentiles (Tobit 1:10-12). In these circumstances, Tobit is not swayed by the temptations of the world and he remains faithful to God and continues to be one of the few of his people who still make sacrifices and honor the
