Even when living in civilization or at a resort, people periodically find themselves, figuratively speaking, in a «desert.» It’s not so much a place as a period of time filled with heaviness, sadness, difficulties, struggle, and sometimes grief and emptiness. Would you agree that for many people, 2020 has been a real desert in their lives?

There's one secret to how you can find nourishment for your soul in such a situation and come out on top. Here's how he did it Messiah Yeshua.

The situation is complicated. Before beginning his ministry Joshua He is undergoing a severe trial. He has been in the desert for forty days now, and hunger and exhaustion are wearing him down. And just as He is at His weakest, none other than Satan approaches Him and tempts Him with what He seems to need most of all—food.

As always, it’s easy to follow your stomach, your appetite, and trust your desires—especially with the excuse, «I really need this right now.» Who here can resist that? In response, Yeshua quotes Scripture: «Man does not live by bread alone… but by every word that comes from the mouth of God» (Torah, Deuteronomy 8:3).

Do you feel a sense of emptiness in your life? Do you realize that this is a time of testing for you? Where do you think you can find strength and encouragement? What can nourish us more than bread? Take a look at Yeshua’s answer. Let’s learn from Him! What should you do?
