When the devil tempted Jesus Christ in the desert by offering Him all the world’s kingdoms seen from a high mountain, the devil made it sound like the temptation would be wonderful beyond measure. Then came the next sentence. “If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.” There was the hook. There was the price to be paid. Jesus would have to worship the devil to get what the devil offered Him. Jesus’ answer was simple and direct. We must worship and serve only the Lord God almighty.
We are fools to think that what the devil offers us in the way of temptation comes with any less of a hook and a price. When we say yes to what we know is sin against God, we are bowing down and worshiping the devil. Oh, but the temptation looks so good, doesn’t it? Just remember whose voice is whispering in your ear to just say yes to the temptation. Don’t take the bait. Worship and serve the Lord.
Luk 4:5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
Luk 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
Luk 4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
Luk 4:8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

I do not even know how I stopped up here, however I believed this post used to be great. I do not recognize who you are but certainly you’re going to a well-known blogger should you are not already Cheers!
I have just seen this at a preview screening in London.
I’ve read some excellent stuff here. Definitely price bookmarking for revisiting.
I surprise how so much attempt you put to make one
of these excellent informative site.
Hi! I’ve been following your site for some time
now and finally got the courage to go ahead and give you a shout out from Porter
Tx! Just wanted to say keep up the good job!
my webpage; bulletin board ideas
I think what you composed made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little information? I am not saying your
content is not solid., but suppose you added something
to possibly get folk’s attention? I mean What Lies Behind Temptation | Lara Love's
Good News Daily Devotional is kinda vanilla. You should peek at Yahoo’s home
page and watch how they create news headlines to grab people to click.
You might add a related video or a picture or
two to grab people interested about what you’ve got to say.
In my opinion, it would bring your blog a little
bit more interesting.
I got this website from my buddy who told me about this web site and now this
time I am browsing this website and reading very informative articles
or reviews here.
It’s nearly impossible to find well-informed people for this subject, but you seem like
you know what you’re talking about! Thanks
Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so
she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.
I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
I savour, result in I found exactly what I used to be looking for.
You have ended my four day long hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day.
Bye
Why people still use to read news papers when in this technological world the whole thing
is existing on net?
Asking questions are really nice thing if you are not
understanding anything completely, however this article offers nice understanding yet.
Its such as you read my mind! You seem to understand a
lot approximately this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something.
I believe that you simply can do with a few percent to
power the message house a little bit, however other than that, that is magnificent blog.
An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.
