Since he himself had gone
through temptation and suffering, he is able to help us when we are being
tempted - Hebrews 2:18.
Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the
devil after He had fasted forty days and forty nights. He was tempted immediately
following His baptism and just prior to starting His preaching ministry. He
defeated the devil by the Word of God. And take the helmet of salvation, and
the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God -Ephesians 6:17.
Jesus overcame the lust of the flesh, pride
of life and the lust of eyes. Man shall not live by bread alone; but lives by
every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord - Deuteronomy 8:3. You
shall not tempt the LORD your God - Deuteronomy 6:16. You shall worship
the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve - Deuteronomy 6:16. Therefore
submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you - James 4:7.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, Help
us to overcome temptations in our life by Your Word. In Jesus’ name we pray.
Amen.
