Jesus will face three temptations from Satan while He is in the desert. The first one is hunger. Jesus had fasted for 40 days… so He was extremely hungry. Satan didn’t just bring Him bread… no, Satan wanted Him to change the stones into bread. Jesus quoted from scriptures. Later, Jesus would identify Himself as ‘the Bread of Life’. Physical hunger returns within hours or days. Spiritual hunger can be satisfied by Jesus… and it can last forever.

Ask how that made them feel and how much they appreciated eating again. Remind them that the devil attacks us at our weakest moments and at our weakest points. That is why we encourage you to know His Word and to store it up in your hearts and in your minds. You will need it… often. Always Take Time For God’s Word© each day or as you eat any bread or at 4:04 am or pm. I recall when I would come home after school and I could smell the fresh baked bread. I could not wait to have a slice with butter and jelly. (It makes my mouth water just thinking about it.) Yet, there are people just that hungry for the Word of God. They know they need it. They know that they are dying without it. That is why we often mention sharing Bibles with new believers here and overseas. I enjoy giving through the American Bible Society (Philadelphia, PA) and The Bible League (Crete, IL). Share His Word wherever you can or support these organizations, if you are able. Enjoy the Bread of Life!
We focus our prayers on all the judges at all levels and those who support our courts system of justice. These women and men have a difficult task to help interpret and enforce our laws in ways that are fair and just. At times, they need to apply mercy along with the punishment. Let them know that you pray for them. Give them your support. When the time comes, serve on a jury to help out in that manner as well. Stay blessed in these unsettling days. Be a blessing to others. Pass it on by offering those in need the Bread of Life which will satisfy them forever!
