Matthew 4:1-11 Jesus was tempted in the wilderness after 40 days of fasting. Satan used His vulnerability (food), scripture and lavish visions to get Jesus to follow him and veer off course and fall into sin. Thats what sin is, right? Coming off the path that God has for us and taking an easier route? an enticing route? a seemingly more fulfilling route? One that separates us from our faith in the long run? Jesus, knowing full well that He was going to be tempted by Satan, prepared himself by fasting. There is so much wisdom packed into this story that can be taken away and applied to our own lives. Here are my top 3: 1) Know scripture so it can't be used against you. 2) Stay diligent in preparation. Don't be naive to how the enemy will work in your life. 3) The deeper and stronger your faith grows, the more the enemy will come to try to create wavering in your faith.
