Matthew 4
Inspired thots
This chapter on the temptation of Jesus is the prelude to Jesus' successful ministry. Trials and temptations will come prior to any ministry and the way to overcome them is to be affirmed in your position in God.
The devil started the first two temptations with "If you are the Son of God,..."; this implies an attempt to cause doubt about who Jesus is to God. If Jesus were to succumb to the temptations, it is an indication that He has to prove His position in God. But a sure knowledge of position needs no testing or proofs; it is obvious at all times. There is always peace and tranquility without showing off to others.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
