While Satan was tempting and Jesus was with the wild beasts the angels waited on him. That’s hopeful! You’ve got to love angels. They are not fluffy and feathery either..you can bet. They kick butt.

I know this truth. I hear you. Here’s one of the verses I am keeping with me during this season:
But you, beloved, build yourselves up on your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; keep yourselves in the love of God; look forward to the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. Jude:20-21

I found an intriguing article on http://www.textweek.com called “From Ashes to Fire” – very good read and insightful.

You rock Greg!

Thanks for the Lenten insight. I feel that Satan doesn’t waste his efforts when we are unfocused or hypocritical in our faith, because we are already sinning or easily led astray. But I feel that Satan steps up his game when we step ours up. Kind of like playing to the level of your competition if you will. When we realize that we are not serving God to our potential or otherwise prepare ourselves for greater things and a closer wwalk with God, that’s when Satan brings his A-game because he wants to keep you in his flock.

Thanks for the insight (especially the part about Jesus being filled with the Spirit and what that meant as well as God leading Him into the wilderness to prepare Him). I have often wondered what the early years of Jesus’ life (after the teaching at the temple incident) were like and what struggle he may have had as a teen and young adult. I wish that stuff was in the Bible! I imagine it was incredibly difficult.
