And the angels tended him.
Mark 1:1-13
This passage is powerful. Jesus was sent into the wilderness for forty days. During this time He was tested continually by Satan and with wild beasts. I feel the passage speaks to all of us. When haven't we been tempted to take or do things we shouldn't do? Faith is what keeps us on the path of the light and Satan is what pushes us off. Do you take time to listen when you are in the wilderness or try to face it alone? We have someone to help guide us when we are lost or afraid. Jesus showed us; we have to believe. Sometimes letting go feels like falling into a bottomless well. When we do finally let go and let God - He catches us - always. Temptation will always be there, but so will God. (Remember according to Larry the Cucumber: God is bigger than the boogie man!)
