Scripture: Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” Matthew 4:1-4 (NIV) Application: Adversity brings strength. Resistance makes one resilient. When confronted by temptation, our response should be the holy scripture. That's the only force strong enough to not break under the forces of evil. Not breaking results in increased strength. Glory to God only. Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, we desire Your strength. Teach us how to remember and respond with the Word when temptation confronts us. Amen.
