Scripture: Matthew 4:1
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.”
Reflection:
The wilderness is not always a place we choose. It can be seasons of loneliness, uncertainty, transition, or spiritual dryness. Yet Scripture shows that even Jesus was led there by the Spirit. The wilderness is often where God strips away distractions, exposes our deeper needs, and teaches us to depend on His Word rather than our own strength. What feels empty can become holy ground, because God meets us there, strengthens us, and prepares us for what lies ahead.
Challenge:
Notice where you feel spiritually dry or weary right now. Instead of running from that place, bring it honestly before God and spend a few quiet minutes with Him today.
Prayer:
Lord, when I feel weak, empty, or tempted, remind me that You are near. Strengthen me in testing and teach me to trust Your Word. Amen.
