Morning: Psalm 119:97-120; Esther 6:1-14; Acts 19:1-10
Evening: Psalms 81, 82; Luke 4:1-13
The three temptations of Jesus in the wilderness were: 1. give priority to satisfying the desires of the flesh; 2. seek the praise of others; 3. do evil that good may come. The Prayer Book refers to these temptations as: “The World, the Flesh and the Devil”. It’s still a good summary of what leads us astray in life. Jesus’s responses to these temptations were: 1. life is more than physical or material satisfaction; 2. serve God, not yourself; 3. bargaining with God is futile. These are still very good answers for what will get us back on track again.
