Reflections for FEB 26: 1st Lent: Gen 9.8-15; iPet. 3.18-22; MK 1. 12-15

GOD SAID TO NOAH, 'WHEN I BRING CLOUDS OVER THE EARTH & THE BOW APPEARS, I WILL RECALL MY COVENANT WITH YOU.'

The Spirit drove Jesus into the desert, he remained there 40 days & was tempted by Satan.

DURING THE DAY

Train yourself to be aware of temptation. Human appetites & emotions are strong, blind, & kick in automatically. They should be governed by the mind & will, not agreed with.

ABOUT PRAYER

Prayer exercises the authority of a truth-seeking intellect, & the free will's harmony with the divine will--the Creating Intellect knows better than the creature's what's best for it!
