—Matthew 4:1-11
by: Paula Davis.
Sometimes it can feel like life is just one big test. Each day brings challenges and temptations that can seem like more than we can handle. Truthfully, we cannot handle them in our own power, but we can follow the example Jesus set when He was tempted in the wilderness. How did Jesus do it? Not by His own human strength, but by the power of the Holy Spirit within Him supported with His knowledge of Scripture. That same power is available to us when we hide God’s Word in our hearts and call upon the Holy Spirit to keep us from temptation.
