KEY THOUGHT JESUS' TIME IN THE WILDERNESS WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT. IT WAS NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT. JESUS WAS COMPELLED TO GO INTO THIS TIME IN THE WILDERNESS. HE HAD NO PLACE TO HIDE IN THIS WILD AND RUGGED PLACE. IN THIS WILDERNESS, A HARSH PLACE WE CALL THE DESERT, GOD'S SON HAD TO DEPEND UPON GOD FOR HIS SURVIVAL. IN THE DESERT, GOD'S SON HAD NO APPARENT COMPANION TO HELP HIM IN HIS FIGHT AGAINST EVIL AND TEMPTATION. ISN'T THIS HOW WE SOMETIMES FEEL? DO WE WONDER HOW AND WHY THE HOLY SPIRIT LED US INTO A DECISION OR SITUATION WHEN THERE IS TROUBLE AND TRIAL? YET AS WE FOLLOW THE SPIRIT'S LEAD, WE FIND THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE AND WE REALIZE THAT GOD'S SPECIAL GRACE, THE PRESENCE OF THE SPIRIT AND THE ANGELS, IS THERE TO SUSTAIN US IN WAYS WE COULD NEVER IMAGINE OR DESIGN. TODAY'S PRAYER FATHER, HELP ME TO SEE THE LEADING OF YOUR SPIRIT AND TO RECEIVE THE MINISTRY OF YOUR ANGELS AS I FACE MY TIMES OF TRIAL, TEMPTATION, AND TROUBLE. LEAD ME TO A BETTER PLACE AND USE MY LIFE TO BRING GLORY TO YOU! IN JESUS' NAME, I PRAY. AMEN. |
