Life is filled with many distractions. Currently, I'm trying to raise enough money to start a home business. I believe that when our life is away from the Bible, then we are missing out on being fed the word of God. Our walk with the Lord is a commitment and not always a very easy journey. We stumble across many different obstacles, but it's nothing to be alarmed of. Just imagine a person who cared so much for this world, he would sit 24-7 in the torturous weather of a desert day and night without any food for thirty days and thirty nights. This person would be at the brink of death, possibly highly annoyed with civilization, and in a proud mood for accomplishing a human milestone! Let's see what happened instead.
The man received three temptations from the devil: he stated "You claim yourself to be God, why not throw yourself off a cliff and let the angels catch you. Turn these stone to bread." The man then rejected the devil and said "Thou shallt not tempt God." The third time, the devil showed this man the world bowing and worshiping the man. The devil stated, "The world is yours, if you only bow before me." The man rejected this offer. It would be really difficult for any religious leader to pass up the offer of being idolized without any compromise or detecting the powerful devil was the man's enemy at the time. It seems fair enough that the man would feel he has authority over the devil. None of that long fasting really caught the man by surprise or turned him into a nut-case, as probably would have been for any of us in the world. This spiritual message has revolutionized the lives of countless millions in the modern world/ "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) This man who came into the world to fast in the desert claimed himself to be the Son of Man, Jesus. He would then later resurrect from an unfair crucifixion and be referred to as Christ by His believers. The Bible we know today is still relevant to this world.
