During all this, the Lord was directing me (most of the time without me realizing it).

In the wilderness, Satan tempted Jesus in the most unlikely ways - through independence, religion, and success. The enemy's goal for us is the same, convincing us to enjoy the gifts of this world while making the Giver optional in our quest for life.

Hotly debated, He remains the most conspicuous figure of all time, even 20 centuries after His inglorious death.
