"Next 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. That left him, of course, in a state of extreme hunger..."
Matthew 4, The Message
If you knew you were going to be tempted to use your power to make food appear out of thin air, would you prepare for it by fasting for over a month?
Hmmm...
What's going on here?
This is one of those do not try at home moments. Because Jesus is Jesus. We are not. At the same time, God often works best in and through our weakness. So if you are hungry, tired, lonely, angry, afraid...take heart! God is at work. You'll be surprised at how he can use it not just in your life but also in others.
