Luke 4 is interesting because it doesn't say Jesus saw a red devil with a pitch fork. He was dealing with his regular human thought life. This is how satan works best. Jesus was prepared though. He had spent time in God's word. The good news is that He responded with scripture from the same area in the bible. It makes sense that that's what He read for His devotions that day. What this means is that we don't have to know all the scripture; we just have to be faithful to what God is teaching us through His word each day and He'll make sure we have the right passages when we need them.
Scripture says the enemy wants to destroy us; come at us like a roaring lion; fill us with fear... yet the good news from this verse is that temptation is only for a season.
Lord, for each person reading this blog; would You give them the tools they need to face the temptations coming their way; and would you give them the breaks they need to enjoy amazing fellowship with You. Thanks
