https://youtu.be/JSFWIHMC1Cw We are living in crazy times! On the surface it looks like COVID-19 is in charge, and that we should be giving all of our attention to it like its the script writer, responsible for the next part of all of our stories.

The Word in the wilderness
Jesus could have easily had his needs met through the calling of angels, or some other supernatural way and come out on top, but that's not his way. He could see through the devils schemes and instead he chose to resist all 3 temptations with the proper use of scripture.
