Life's Instruction Manual

Today, in Luke 3-6, we read of Satan tempting Jesus in the wilderness. Jesus responds to this temptation by quoting scripture, truly a lost art in this day and age. Satan cannot stand against the Word of God. He even tries to use scripture in ch4v10-11 in tempting Jesus. But he has wielded it incorrectly and Jesus refutes him in ch4v12. What do we do today when attacked? I do not quote scripture or even think about it at first. Thankfully I am still growing. God has given us His Word not for a history lesson or fun reading (it can be both), rather it is a manual for life. I know most of us don't like to read manuals, but this one is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the instructions. Lean on them in troubling times. After all, Jesus did!
