This passage begins with the Spirit leading Jesus into the wilderness, and this is interesting, to be tempted by the devil. This passage ends with the devil leaving Jesus and angels coming to minister to Him. As I was reading this morning, my attention was taken to the silence of God.
Christ was in the wilderness, a place of isolation. Totally dependent on God. Similar to Elijah at the brook Cherith. And His Father was silent. No cheering from the sidelines, no encouraging words. Silence. But only for a season. For when the time of testing was over, God sent His ministering angels.
When you find yourself in the desert place, waiting on a silent God, remember that even though He is silent, He is not absent. He is Emmanuel, God with us. You are never alone. In His time, He will do for you what He did for Christ. He will send His angels to minister to you.
