Lent Day 8: "Meditation: Victory in the Wilderness"

In an effort to improve our Lenten Journey, our church has decided to give us a mediation card each Sunday that will reflect on the Gospel.  This week reflects on Matthew 4:1-11
To prevent Jesus from carrying out God's work, the devil tempts him 3 times, to seek earthly powers for himself, but Jesus refuses.

"At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.....then the devil left him and behold, angels came and ministered to him"


Reflect: What are the promises of the devil that most often tempt you? Money, pride, gluttony, immortality, laziness, anger, withholding forgiveness or grudges, past sins, other worldly or material temptations.....
Resolve: This week talk to Jesus about your weaknesses and show him you are doing something about them.
Remember: What instances in your life remind you of God's lasting love? 


At this time, I think I will reflect on this and post my thoughts tomorrow.
