So Jesus has been in the wilderness being tempted, and then he returns -- that time of fasting has prepared him for what is to come. He is filled with the Spirit, and word spreads quickly. Jesus' trial in the wilderness lays groundwork for what is to come.
We talked about Daniel in church yesterday -- his prayer life in the ordinary times prepared him to face extraordinary hardship. The Spirit was at work, and then the Spirit sent word out in spectacular ways that God was at work.
May we trust that God is at work in us in the hard times, and may we stay faithfully committed to a life of prayer, that the Spirit may lead us out of lean times and into something powerful in the times to come.
