REVEALED WORD TODAY

// Read: MATTHEW 4:4-11 //
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[a]”

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[b]”

7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[c]”

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[d]”

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

MEDITATION:
If the devil will leave you, know how to approve your sonship. Do not prove it (Verse 5-7). You are god to Satan not only the Son of God; you do not need to prove that to Satan but to convince yourself of it. Know who you are! Do not let the devil confuse you of your identity in Christ.

PRAYER: Father, deliver me from Satanic manipulations in the name of Jesus Christ.
