Matthew 4:1-11: Bread and Stone
Friday, July 7, 2023
Jesus was taken into the wild by the Spirit for the Test. The Devil was ready to give it. Jesus prepared for the Test by fasting forty days and forty nights. (Mathew 4:1-2)
We ought not be surprised when conflict or doubt settle into our lives. When our brother Jesus experienced great temptation he turns to God. Why should not we?
Today we consider our options when we are confronted by great obstacles and great challenges. For more on how Jesus handled temptation, visit The Temptations page on this blog at: https://thenoontimes.com/the-temptations/

Over the next few weeks we will be away from easy internet access, but we will be pausing to read scripture and to pray and reflect at noon, keeping those in The Noontime Circle in mid-day prayer. You may want to click on the Connecting at Noon page on this blog at: https://thenoontimes.com/connecting-at-noon/ In these posts, we will have the opportunity to reflect on a scripture verse and an artist’s rendition of that event. Wishing you grace and love and peace in Christ Jesus.
