Scripture Reading

Matthew 4:1-11

Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 4:10b

[Jesus said:] “Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!”

Reflect

Jesus had fasted for forty days and nights and was approached by the devil when he was hungry and vulnerable. In what ways did the devil try to tempt Jesus? How did Jesus respond? In what areas of your life are you most vulnerable? What helps you to resist temptation?

Pray

Lord Jesus, when I am faced with temptation, help me place my trust in you and your teachings. Nurture me each day with your Word. I promise to worship and serve you. In your holy name, I pray. Amen.
