Reflecting back on Jesus' testing in the wilderness (Matthew 4), which of the 3 temptations thrown at Jesus, would be your biggest stumbling block?
1. The temptation to use your power for your own benefit? (Turning stones to bread)
2. To seek fame and honour, by seeking to be spectacular? (Throwing yourself from the Temple)
3. To compromise who you worship, in order to gain the whole world? (Bowing down to the devil)
I realise it is a tough question to answer but chew on it for a while.
Perhaps another way to reflect on the passage, is to ask: "What is my greatest weakness at the moment, and would the adversary use that to try and get me to turn away from Jesus?"
Proverbs 27:21 - Fire tests the purity of silver and gold, but a person is tested by being praised.
