Desert Temptation

 

- driven into wilderness .... we shall overcome –

 Spirit provoked into dusty emptiness

alone with the Alone

scorched by evil thoughts

encircled by beasts

blistering daylight

vacant darkness

 in this meeting place of angelic luminosity

the ah ha moment 

 Divinity's Presence 

 

Jesus, you embraced your ministry in the desert, confronting evil and the temptations of the world as angels loved you, therein did you experience Divine Love and Truth. You the risk-taker, the one who ran toward struggle, not away from it; help me to meet my temptations with the help of the angels. Help me find Divine Truth in my willingness to face the dark corners of my heart and the evils of the world. Amen.

 

 Read Matthew 4:1-11.
