Have you ever had a time where you have chosen to serve God with all of your heart and become more of a servant to others? And then everything around you goes into conflict, confusion, people misunderstanding you, and something important to you seems to be taken away? Satan is the crafter of lies and speaks to our heart where we are struggling. We need to be mindful of him and remember our strength is in the Lord alone. Scripture says “if we resit the devil, he will flee”.
Matthew 4:3
And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread”
1 Thessalonians 3:5
For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain
Hebrews 2:16
For because he himself has suffered when tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted
Hebrews 4:14
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need
