Jesus' Second Temptation While Fasting

Jesus is taken to the highest point of the Temple in Jerusalem where Satan tells him to jump.  Doesn't seem to be much of a temptation to people who are afraid of heights or people who believe in gravity.  However, Satan adds that surely the angels of the Lord will rescue Jesus if he is the Son of God.  Prove you are who you say you are in your own time and in your own way.  Jesus knew God's plan to reveal him as the Son of God was with the cross and the resurrection.  Satan tempted Jesus to find his own way - dazzle the crowds with amazing acts like jumping off a building.  Instead Jesus fed the hungry and healed the sick.  When he walked on the water or calmed the seas, only his disciples were present.
When are we tempted to do things our own way instead of following God's plan for our lives?  In faith we must step out to a place where God can rescue us, but how do we make sure we are still in God's plan?  How do we know if we are putting God to the test with our own plan or putting God to the test to rescue us?
Learn from the example of how people in the Bible trusted God and tested God.  Jesus knew the scriptures and was able to use that knowledge to combat the temptations of Satan. Learn from people who have a deep faith in God and talk to them about how they resolve this tension.
