Morning: Psalm 56, 57; I Kings 21:1-16; I Corinthians 1:1-19
The
temptations Jesus endured in the wilderness are familiar to all human
beings. It is tantalizing to imagine you could possess anything you
wanted, or enjoy high regard in the eyes of all, or have power to
control the outcome of events. Jesus could have had it all, but he knew
this was only an illusion, a mirage in the wilderness, a poor
substitute for what really matters humanly speaking. Wealth, fame and
power are empty facsimiles of the true riches, inner satisfaction and
contentment that come with living a full, self-aware, and balanced life.
