I wrote this for the folks around me but I think all can use it
A lot of good work is going on out there and as I was thinking about it the lord laid on my heart a warning
Matthew 3
16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”
We see in verse four Just as soon as this happened the spirit led him to the wilderness to be tested
Matthew 4
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
It seams after a great victory the first thing that happens is satin moves in. After God parted the Red Sea and the Israelites stopped,the first thing they did was build a idol. David,he got lazy. In the days to come we need to guard ourselves against this fate. There is a old saying those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
So how do we protect ourselves? We can look to verse ten to see how and verse eleven to see the results of our faith
Matthew 4 :10-11
10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[e]”
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
So now more then ever we need to have our noses stuck in the word. For how can we use the word to protect us if we don't know it?
