Wilderness
Jesus was in the wilderness forty days and nights to be tempted by the devil. He was comforted by angels. Why was He tempted? (Luke 4:1-2) Jesus had to be tempted like a man, yet He did not sin. Instead, he fed on the Word of God and found the strength to overcome the devil's tricks. So, we are constantly tempted to do wrong by Satan, and we must study, read, pray, and make the right choices to do what God requires. If we move forward and do what we want rather than what Jesus mandates, we have sinned against Jesus. Then His death and resurrection will mean nothing to us. Anytime we disobey and do what we want rather than what Father God requires, we are still in the wilderness of life. Father God wants to have a relationship with us. Once we allow ourselves to listen and remain quiet and hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, then life will change, and we will leave the wilderness of our lives. Last week I wrote about water. We all seek water to purify our broken spirit once we are out of the wilderness of life, which is a test to see if we will obey, and it is a preparation for greater heights that God has prepared for us.
Book Excerpt
Just The Edge of God
As we go through life, God’s words float through every breath we take and every second of our lives is like musical notes, and we go through life as if it is nothing. We must think about who God is; He is the Triune One who made our lives and the universe. Our existence is to love Jehovah and enjoy life with Him.
The original plan with our ancestors failed, and Jehovah knew this plan of action when He created us. We are God’s creation, and our ancestors Adam and Eve had a choice to make when they sinned in the Garden of Eden. El Shaddai gave the gift of ‘free will’ to choose to love and trust God or to trust man’s desires. We have ‘free will’ today, and we exercise it daily. Our independence to choose heaven or earth cannot be haphazard because Jesus the Messiah had to die for us.
He gave everything for us to live either in sin or in righteousness. The only request Jesus made was for us - was to trust and obey the Word of God, then trust and love Him. Father God does not ask we follow Him but believe in Him. It is so important we learn to trust God, as this is the mystery of God’s love for humanity. What a wonderful love God gives to us every second of every day. No human on this earth could ever give the love Adonai (God) gives to man.
