We In James 5:11 it says----Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful. And there are three things we should know about trials and temptations. First, they are under God’s sovereignty. Job was in his trial but God had an end he intended…..you have….. seen the end intended by the Lord—. God has a purpose for trials and God is sovereign, we can give thanks in trials because God will work them for our good. Job in the middle of his trial was blessed, he endured. So, first----trials are under God’s sovereignty; second----we can thank God in trials, because God is working them for our good; and third Ja 5:11 that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful. Jesus is very compassionate and merciful. In Mark 1:12-13, Jesus is being tempted, Jesus knows how it feels to go through trials and temptations. Jesus is merciful and compassionate because he understands us. So someone might ask -----Mk 1:12 Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. Is about us-------Why is it important for us? Mk 1:10-11 ….he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” This is the fullness of God, the Father speaks from heaven, the Spirit descends from heaven, the Son obeys from heaven. But at Mk 1:12… the wilderness,….the wilderness is an empty place. The Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness, and he is alone. And a question in the wilderness, what is real fullness?
