Christian Devotional – May 29, 2012

VERSE:
Matthew 4:1–Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

TRUTH:
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are to be led by Him and the Spirit. Jesus was led by the Spirit directly toward Satan in this instance, not away from him. Still Jesus followed and went through that time of testing. Do we follow God, even when we know that it will be difficult and we may face the testing of Satan? We are to follow Him and He will lead us through.

RESPONSE:
Lord, no matter what You lead me through, I’d rather follow than go another way. Your Word is over all and You are over all, and no matter what You lead me toward, I want to go through it to be able to follow You.
