(05/31/09) Like Israel before him, Jesus begins his ministry with hunger and temptation in the desert. Temptation is often strongest when we want good things, things that God intends to give us, but we insist on acquiring God’s blessings on our own terms… and our own timing. We want it now! Impatience is, quite literally, the devil. Jesus shows us that starting strong requires trust in God and his timing.
