Scripture Reading: Luke 4:1-12
Focus Verse: Psalm 119:11 Your Word I have Hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.
How did Jesus stand up to the temptations of Satan in the wilderness? He did it by quoting Scripture. "It is written".
If Jesus needed the Bible to overcome temptation, how do we think we can live a pure life without it. So many times we find ourselves in a mess and can't understand why, but we haven't gone to the only source that can really help us. We make Satan weak and defeated in our lives when we pray and read the Bible. Satan knows that his time is limited here on earth, and he's going to do all he can to destroy God's greatest creation, "us".
God has given us everything we need to stand up to his attacks. The question is, "will we use it, or try to resist on our own?" I have seen in my own life I can never be victorious on my own. I must rely on Christ and the power of His Word every day to overcome the evil powers of this world. As believers we have the power of the Holy Spirit living in us. "It is written "we can have victory".
