Do I trust Him?

The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."
(Mat 4:3 NIV)


Jesus indeed IS the Son of God.
But why should He show His power to the devil?
Why should He take order from Satan?
He could have done so. But He chose not.
He took order from the Father alone.

It is not just about fulfilling the hunger and the need.
It is about TRUST.

Do I trust my heavenly Father?
Do I trust Him to do what HE WANTS me to do?
Do I trust Him NOT to do what HE DOES NOT want me to do?
Do I trust Him to give me the strength to do what He wants me to do?
Do I trust Him to give me the strength to resist doing what He does not want me to do?
Do I trust Him to provide for me without cutting corners when He places me in this work? If I trust Him, I do not need to compare myself with others.
