THE SEED
Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. Matthew 4:1. NLT.
Reading the above scripture, it seems that the main purpose of Jesus going into the wilderness was to be tempted by the devil and not just to go and pray for 40 days and nights.
Pondering over this, it became clear that it was important for Jesus to be tempted by the devil just to affirm who He really is, His identity as the saviour of the world and the second Adam before starting his ministry. We know as the bible told us that Jesus began his ministry after this encounter. So how do we relate to this? When we go through trials and challenging situation as children of God, we can boldly say that God allows it for a purpose not because of SIN though! And a very important accomplishment for us is that when we are able to demonstrate our stand in the Lord by not giving in into these trials. We’re also affirming our identity in Christ and that in itself helps and encourage our faith to be stronger and deeper, and our father is also glorified in these situations. So, if you’re going through any challenging situation at this time, know that God has a purpose for it and it is an opportunity for you to affirm your stand and identity in Christ because He has already made a way of escape for you. Please do not give in to the trials.
PRAYER
Lord help me to stand strong in face of trials and challenging situations in my journey of life.
