Anchor scripture: Mark 1:12-13. Message Notes: What tempts you most? Why? What typically transpires? Identify what’s most curious and intriguing to you in Mark’s short account of Jesus’ temptation (Mark 1:12-13). My best observations include: Read Hebrews 2:14-18. According to these verses, why did Jesus experience such hard testing? How we can tap into Jesus’ help . . . 1. Hold better perspective on days of testing. 2. Mold mindset based on Jesus’ mindset. (Join the weekly read-thru-Mark challenge.) 3. Call to him for help. “Help me, Jesus!” 4. Pause long enough to make a ripple list. 5. Plug into angel-like encouragement. 6. Daily declare your devotion to God’s will and plan. 7. Tell Satan to take a hike. Which of the above concepts seem to hold the most potential for being helpful in the coming week? Get Ready for Next Week: Read through Mark’s Gospel, 2 or 3 chapters each day. Reflect on Jesus and his friends. How do they live sent? What are those postures, priorities, and practices you want to pursue?
