Matthew 4 : 1-10

   
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights,
he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said,
If thou be the Son of God,
command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone, b
ut by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city,
and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
cast thyself down: for it is written,
He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:
and in their hands they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again,
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again,
the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain,
and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world,
and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him,
All these things will I give thee,
if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him,
Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve.


Today's Prayer...


Lord our God,

We are not worthy of all the mercy and faithfulness you show to us.
We thank you for your love and ask you to keep our hearts
united in the hope we have together for all things.
Keep our hearts united, that again and again we can receive
something new from your mighty hand.
Keep us true to the calling you have given us.
Let light shine out into the world, right into the dark places.
Remember those all over the world who are sighing to you,
longing that in your great and wonderful goodness light
may come to the peoples and to the nations through
some deed from your hand.



In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
