Sometimes life takes us on journeys where we don't really know where we're going or how it will turn out. Today's gospel, in which Jesus was tempted, like the old testament account of the Israelites wandering the desert, are good examples to learn from. The Israelites spent 40 years in the desert because they didn't always trust God's direction. By contrast, Jesus listened to his father and knew what his path was. We can do the same, not really knowing what our destination is, but trusting that God will lead us where we should go.
