Good morning. Avoid temptation. (Illustrated Words - Apr 16)
"Satan was tempting Jesus. He was trying to get Jesus to turn away from God and worship him. Satan offered some pretty cool things in tempting Jesus... but none of them worked. Jesus met every temptation with Scripture.
So one of Satan's temptations was to challenge Scripture - to make Jesus prove that God would do what He says He will do. Jesus' response was this verse - don't try to test God. [God] didn't have to prove anything to Jesus and He doesn't have to prove anything to you. God says He loves you and will take care of you. Believe Him, don't test Him." (See Matthew 4:7).
