What I learned while fasting

Ya know...when Jesus was fasting in the wilderness, He was tempted by the devil (Luke 4)...when I was fasting on a workday, I was tempted by the devil.  My thought, "REALLY? This happens while I'm FASTING?!?" But if Jesus wasn't exempt, how could I expect to be?

At the beginning of my job training, I had to find a place to live for 50 days. Who has training for only 50 days? Usually you hear of even numbers like "30 days," "90 days," ya know...but 50? Where was I supposed to live for 50 days? With complete strangers? Yep...one is on the left. Praise the Lord for grace! She turned out to be pretty nice! The other guy, not pictured of course, turned out to be ok, too...well, he did some things I wouldn't agree with and ended up in jail..but he didn't hurt the two of us pictured...P..T..L..!!

“Our times are in God's hands; it is well they are so. Believers are not to expect great wealth, long life, or to be free from trials. But all will be ordered for the best. And remark from Job's history, that steadiness of mind and heart under trial, is one of the highest attainments of faith. There is little exercise for faith when all things go well. But if God raises a storm, permits the enemy to send wave after wave, and seemingly stands aloof from our prayers, then, still to hang on and trust God, when we cannot trace him, this is the patience of the saints. Blessed Saviour! how sweet it is to look unto thee, the Author and Finisher of faith, in such moments!" -Matthew Henry.
