Ever find yourself somewhere you don’t want to be? Someplace you didn’t ask for, isn’t fair and is really difficult? Me too. And Jesus, too.
“Then Jesus was led by the Sprit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.” Matthew 4:1
What? Jesus was led into isolation so he could be hounded and tempted by evil. That seems unfair. That may be what it feels like for you today too… “I didn’t ask for this and I’m not sure I can do this.”
You can. Because you are not alone. God is with you. The enemy may be with you too, but he doesn’t get the final Word. And he doesn’t have ultimate authority. He can’t win, so he settles for trying to discourage and distract you. Follow Jesus’ example. Stay true to God’s Word and watch the enemy flee.
