Matthew 3:16-4:11 . . .Temptation? . . . Wait A Minute!  By reading Matthew 3:16-17 before verses 4:1-11 you get context for the events that Jesus experienced right after His baptism by John the Baptist.  By understanding these verses of scripture, we can better understand our own moments of temptation and how to deal with them.  Jesus gives us the perfect example of how to deal with temptation in Chapter 4, Verses 4, 7, and 10.  It seems like every time that we feel confident in our relationship with God, the devil will do his best to put his snare in our way.  The "tempter" will seek us when we are feeling good and that can be when we are actually weak.  We tend to try and meet a God-given need in an un-Godly way.  We may try to manipulate or use God to meet our own agenda.  We may take a short cut and do a right thing in the wrong way.  Friends, we don't take temptation as seriously as we should.  Sin is not just about the moment, but your future is under consideration.  Every time you sin you damage your accountability to God.  Ask yourself:  Can God be trusted to meet my needs: can God empower me to say "No"; and, can God take care of me?  Yes!  How do you fight temptation with God's power?  Three things you must say, "Temptation you will not take 1) my future, 2) my family, nor 3) my faith!"
