think about it

disappointment comes
suffering comes
in many facets
emotional, physical, spiritual
but for these 40 days we choose to walk out into the desert on our own
we choose to walk in the arid haunted places
and just like with Jesus our example,
the devil comes in our weakest moments
watch what he tried to do to Jesus
"if you do this you will have this" to paraphrase
diablo tries to make Jesus think only of Himself and His wants
he tries to turn us inward, get us caved in on ourselves
he promises to give us what he knows will distract our hearts
he is a liar
but Jesus didn't wouldn't let it be about himself
He kept it about His Father
He turned it around on the Tempter
satan wanted Jesus to turn His eyes inward on Himself
to think about what He wants, feels, sees,
but Jesus kept His focus on Abba
He only did and said what He saw and heard His Father doing
our example
