Lent: Joining Jesus in The Wilderness (Matthew 4:1)

Today’s Bible Verse: “Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.” — Matthew 4:1 Matthew 4:1 reminds us that being led by God doesn’t mean we’ll avoid difficult seasons. Even Jesus, led by the Spirit, entered the wilderness and faced temptation. This verse reframes hardship: struggle is not proof of failure—it can be part of God’s purposeful leading.
