Samo ole tricks

The devil has not changed and is still up to his same ole tricks:

Matthew 4:8-10 

8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

Here in the temptation of Jesus we see the devil offering up lies as usual. He offered Jesus rule of the world which isn't his to offer! Satan does the same thing with us...offers us things he can't give in order for us to follow him and his ways! 

So what did Jesus do? He quoted the word of God and told the devil the way it is!!! "Get away!" We worship and serve God only! Let us make sure we are following the example and teachings of our Lord and Savior. He gave us the bible for a reason!!! So we have a guidebook for the holy life He desires us to live!

Don't fall for the devils tricks! Rebuke him with the Word of God!
