daily word - commission
Are you familiar with the passage of scripture in which I was led by the Spirit into the wilderness? There I fasted, and was tempted. What else took place there? The text does not record it, but what changes do you notice in me afterward? The main message of my ministry was the Kingdom of God, and it was after I came back from the wilderness that I proclaimed this subject. So the wilderness experience for me was one of commissioning, although that term is not used.
