One does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.
Jesus is Tempted By The Devil in the Desert
Gospel | Luke 4:1-13
🙏
"Lord Jesus,
Your temptation in the wilderness describes the intensity of Your struggle. The devil's whispers, so cleverly disguised as promises of power and fulfillment, reveal the insidious nature of temptation. You faced the enemy head-on, not with your own power but with the power of the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
Arm me with your spiritual armor: the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Help me to be vigilant against the enemy's schemes, to stand firm in my faith, and to fight the good fight of faith. Amen."
