THE SEED
No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13.
The Lord did not speak when the devil tempted Him in the bush without first declaring, “It is written.” Matthew 4:1–25 (See it.) Jesus was aware that the authority of God’s Word rendered Satan powerless. The spiritual armour of the Christian is described in Ephesians 6 as God’s protection for His children in the face of opposition from the devil. The majority of the armour is defensive gear; the Bible, which is the only offensive weapon available to us in spiritual combat, is the sword of the Spirit. But because you can’t remember to do what you don’t know, it’s critical to spend daily time with the heavenly Father, studying Scripture, and internalising its principles. Start daily “putting on” of the Lord’s armour. Consider meditating on Ephesians 6:10–17 in the morning. Additionally, avoid situations that increase your likelihood of succumbing to a particular sin if you suffer with it. To the point that you might even benefit from having an honest and trustworthy accountability partner. These actions assist us in fending off Satan, who, according to the Bible, will run from the presence of God’s Word.
PRAYER
Oh Lord, give me the grace to tackle that Devil with your word during the time of temptation, Amen.
