Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
When it comes to food, they say a hungry man is an angry man. That’s what folks say, but during crunch time, a hungry man cannot be an angry man. We would need to be victorious on this point, by manifesting patience if and when God’s timing, and ours may differ. Jesus was tempted on the timing of God’s deliverance, because God has made promises pertaining to our daily bread. The question is: When will the food truck be coming Christ’s way?
Would the food truck show up as soon as Jesus gets hungry, two days after He gets hungry, or will it wait ten, twenty, or thirty days before it drives by with a bunch of hot Tacos? Would Jesus, like Sarah become restless and decide that the food truck isn’t coming. Or would Jesus, like king Saul become all fretted and moody, and angry at God because, like Samuel, the food truck doesn’t show up on time? What does on time mean anyway?
Is it at the first sign of hunger, is it several days into the fast, or is it in the fullness of God’s timing? What would you consider a reasonable time frame for the truck to drive by with His lunch? It has to do with timing, when God’s timing and ours differ. Jesus believed that relief would come, and thus, He waited and waited and waited, until God saw fit to send the food truck with His Tacos.
Matthew 4:2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
