Just want to say how thankful I am for so many blessing from God in my life!! He truly has saved me from so many and I am so grateful!! He has blessed me so much with such a wonderful chruch, family and friends!! I praise Him for all He is doing and has done in my life.
Okay Chapter 4:
After getting over a fast for 21 days, I can't imagine going 40 days and 40 nights with no food?? Then to say he was hungry?? Duh!! It didn't mention that He had gotten any food and the "tempter" took Him to different places and tried to trick Him. In verse 4 we are reminded that "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word from the mouth of God." (this comes for Deut. 8:3 when God feed them manna) It is amazing to me how he even tryed to trick Him with scripture (Psalm 91:11,12). I think that this is a good reminder for all of us that satan is alive and well and believes there is a God and tries to use that to get to us. We really need to study and understand what God wants for our life so we are not even tempted by his tricks. I really loved in verse 7 what Jesus said and I need to remember that "It is written: Do not put the Lord you God to the test." (Which comes from Deut. 6:16). Then in verse 10 we are reminded of Deut. 6:13.
Then more was fulfilled from the prophet Isaih 9:1,2.
Can we talk about faith and trust for a little while?? From verses 18-22 is not very long but VERY POWERFUL!! 2 sets of brothers all Jesus does is ask once and they leave EVERYTHING and follow him!! 1 set of brothers even left their father! They walked away from security, lively hood, family, investment, years of trainning, property etc. Jesus asked them one question and that was it!!
