The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert. There the devil tempted him.After 40 days and 40 nights of going without eating, Jesus was hungry.The tempter came to him. He said,“ If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”Jesus answered,“ It is written,‘ Man must not live only on bread. He must also live on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”( Deuteronomy 8:3)Then the devil took Jesus to the holy city. He had him stand on the highest point of the temple.“ If you are the Son of God,” he said,“ throw yourself down. It is written,“‘ The Lord will command his angels to take good care of you. They will lift you up in their hands. Then you won’t trip over a stone.’ ”( Psalm 91:11, 12)Jesus answered him,“ It is also written,‘ Do not test the Lord your God.’ ”( Deuteronomy 6:16)Finally, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.“ If you bow down and worship me,” he said,“ I will give you all this.”Jesus said to him,“ Get away from me, Satan! It is written,‘ Worship the Lord your God. He is the only one you should serve.’ ”( Deuteronomy 6:13)

That’s why I’m suffering the way I am. But this gives me no reason to be ashamed. That’s because I know who I have believed in. I am sure he is able to take care of what I have given him. I can trust him with it until the day he returns as judge.

2 Corinthians 12 7-2 Corinthians 12 10
God has shown me amazing and wonderful things. People should not think more of me because of it. So I wouldn’t become proud of myself, I was given a problem. This problem caused pain in my body. It is a messenger from Satan to make me suffer.Three times I begged the Lord to take it away from me.But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.
