Ever since creation Satan has been tempting humanity to sin against God. When going through the wilderness experiences of aloneness, physical or emotional pain, prepare oneself to be tempted by the Devil. In the first temptation of Christ we learn that we can overcome the “lust of the flesh” by refusing to give into our desire for pleasure but instead to live by every word that comes from God. The second temptation teaches us that we can overcame the “pride of life” by refusing to put God to the test but instead to fully trust Him in all matters. The final temptation teaches us that we can overcome the “lust of the eyes” by keeping those eyes focused on God and His kingdom. When faced with temptations put on the armor of God, stand firm in the faith and trust that the Spirit of God will enable you to endure and mature in the faith!
