. . . and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him. (NASB) Mark 1:13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time. (NASB) Luke 4:13 After the devil left, the angels started ministering to Jesus. Jesus was left with the wild beasts. But
the devil left only to come back at a later time - an opportune time.
Conclusion. Satan, or the devil, never leaves any of us alone forever. He keeps
coming back. Ephesians 6 says this to us,
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. (NASB) Eph. 6:12 Satan is after us. Satan is after you! There is only one way to fight him. We can win the fight only with
the armor of God. Jesus used all of the armor. He was truthful and righteous in His conduct. He exercised
faith and trusted the scripture.
Through each temptation Jesus trusted God and He used scripture - the Word of God. The only
way we can do this is to know the Bible, and to ask Him to help our unbelief or our lack of trust.
I find that the tests are difficult when I lack faith or trust in God. Since Satan is coming
again, let us pray and ask God to help our unbelief and to give the correct scriptures when we are tempted.
Thank you Lord.
