He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.<\/p>\n The devil said to him, \u201cIf you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.\u201d<\/p>\n Jesus answered, \u201cIt is written: \u2018Man shall not live on bread alone.\u201d<\/p>\n The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. And he said to him, \u201cI will give you all their authority and splendour; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.<\/p>\n If you worship me, it will all be yours.\u201d<\/p>\n Jesus answered, \u201cIt is written: \u2018Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. \u201cIf you are the Son of God,\u201d he said, \u201cthrow yourself down from here. For it is written:<\/p>\n \u201c\u2018He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.\u201d<\/p>\n Jesus answered, \u201cIt is said: \u2018Do not put the Lord your God to the test.\u201d<\/p>\n When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.<\/p>\n MP 1343: O God, you search me and you know me<\/strong><\/p>\n 1 O God, you search me and you know me, 2 You know my resting and my rising. 3 Before a word is on my tongue, Lord, 4 Although your Spirit is upon me. 5 For you created me and shaped me.

\nI trust in you; do not let me be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me.<\/p>\n
\nJesus, God’s own son,
\nPrecious Lamb of God,
\nMessiah, Holy One.<\/p>\n
\nfor giving us your Son,
\nand leaving Your Spirit
\ntill the work on earth is done.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nname above all names,
\nprecious Lamb of God, Messiah,
\nO for sinner slain;
\nChorus<\/em><\/p>\n
\nI will see His face,
\nand there I’ll serve my King for ever
\nin that holy place.
\nChorus<\/em><\/p>\n
\nfor the Lord your God is with you;
\nbe bold, be strong,
\nfor the Lord your God is with you!
\nI am not afraid, (No, No, No!)
\nI am not dismayed (Not Me!)
\nfor I’m walking in faith and victory;
\ncome and walk in faith and victory,
\nfor the Lord your God is with you.<\/p>\n
\nJesus Is Tested in the Wilderness<\/p>\n
\nall my thoughts lie open to your gaze.
\nWhen I walk or lie down you are before me:
\never the maker and keeper of my days.<\/p>\n
\nYou discern my purpose from afar,
\nand with love everlasting you besiege me:
\nin every moment of life or death, you are.<\/p>\n
\nyou have known its meaning through and through.
\nYou are with me beyond my understanding:
\nGod of my present, my past and future too.<\/p>\n
\nstill I search for shelter from your light.
\nThere us nowhere on earth I can escape you:
\neven the darkness is radiant in your sight.<\/p>\n
\ngave me life within my mother’s womb.
\nFor the wonder of who I am, I praise you:
\nsafe in your hands, all creation is made new.<\/p>\n
\non which the Prince of glory died,
\nmy richest gain I count but loss,
\nand pour contempt on all my pride.<\/p>\n
\nsave in the death of Christ my God:
\nall the vain things that charm ne most,
\nI sacrifice them to His blood.<\/p>\n
\nsorrow and love flow mingled down;
\ndid e’er such love and sorrow meet,
\nor thorns compose so rich a crown?<\/p>\n
\nthat were an offering far too small,
\nlove so amazing, so divine,
\ndemands my soul, my life, my all.<\/p>\n
\npilgrim through this barren land;
\nI am weak, but Thou art mighty;
\nhold me with Thy powerful hand;
\nBread of heaven,
\nBread of heaven,
\nfeed me now and everymore,
\nfeed me now and everymore.<\/p>\n
\nwhence the healing stream doth flow;
\nlet the fiery, cloudy pillar
\nlead me all my journey through:
\nStrong deliverer,
\nStrong deliverer,
\nbe Thou still me strength and shield,
\nbe Thou still me strength and shield.<\/p>\n
\nbid my anxious fears subside:
\ndeath of death, and hell’s destruction,
\nland me safe on Canaan’s side:
\nSongs of praises,
\nSongs of praises,
\nI will ever give to Thee,
\nI will ever give to Thee<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
