This Sunday, we hear how Jesus (after his baptism by John) goes into the wilderness to defeat the Tempter and is waited on by angels. As we face the wilderness spaces of our lives, we rejoice that we need not do so alone, but are accompanied by Jesus, who goes with us into all our wilderness places with the power of God’s love. The words of Psalm 25 ring out in our hearts, “To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul …. My God, I put my trust in you.”
