Mt4

It should bother us that Satan used (or should I say misused) scripture to "tempt" Jesus! Often he will use a wrong interpretation of God's word to lead us to sin. Even in the garden of Eden, his strategy was to misquote God Himself. His first words were, "Did God really say"?

We need to be good students of God's word. Our world is messed up and there is temptation on every corner. We are bombarded almost continually with challenges to God's word and truth! We need to be more vigilant to know what God has truly said. Let's make this year a year of growing in our knowledge and understanding of all that God has said.

Temptation will come. Jesus fought temptation with truth. Seek to know and live by the truth.
