Know Who You Are!

It's been forty days since Jesus last ate.  He had been in the desert, and He was hungry.  Who wouldn't be?  It's at our weakest that Satan will make his appearance, and there was no exception with Jesus.  

Satan tells Jesus to prove He is God's Son by turning the rocks into bread.  Jesus refuses, and so Satan takes Him to a high place and offers Him the authority of the kingdoms seen from there.

Jesus says, "Get thee behind Me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve." Luke 4:8, KJV  

Jesus knew Who He was and He knew the Word.  He knew how to defeat the temptations the enemy threw at Him.  Do we?  How well do we know the Word?  How well do we understand our own weaknesses to defeat the enemy when he strikes us when we're down?

May we stay in the Word of God daily and pray for understanding against the enemy who wishes to steal, kill, and ultimately destroy us. (John 10:10)
