I often ask myself why Jesus would go to a desert place. Why experience loneliness and the devils temptations regarding God's plan? We all hear these voices of defeat; they judge others and are most critical of ourselves. We are alone, there is no one that can help us, we are lost in the sandstorm. Jesus knew this to be lies; he took this dangerous journey with each of our names and faces in his heart and he succeeded. His victory doesn't mean we will not experience the desert again. We should never forget that Jesus is our compass. When we are in that desert always look around for other fellow travelers. Remember we hold the compass in our hearts.
