Todays church teaching was on temptation, not really applicable to me I was smugly thinking. Then 'temptation to test God' ah, right. Oops.
I realise now (after having Matthew 4 broken down and spoon fed to me) that by asking God for something specific, then getting all shirty when it doesn't happen, is testing Him and His love. Jesus didn't need to throw himself off a cliff to prove God would save him, he just knew that He would. So, God, I feel poorly, but instead of shaking my faith I know you will save me. Let's finish this realisation nicely.
Amen.
