I was reading the story from the Bible about how Jesus fasts
in the desert for 40 days after being baptized by John the Baptist. What caught
my attention was that Satan was desperate for sin. His whole goal was to test
the messiah to see if he was strong enough to resist the temptation of
sin. Jesus each time responded with quotes from scripture and never gave into
very easy temptations that surrounded him for 40 days.
To our own lives, this can serve as a reminder to us that
God watches over us and cares for us and will provide for our spiritual needs,
and that the temptations that we face can be conquered through devotion
to prayer.
