Final remarks

Jesus had not eaten for 40 days and so he was hungry. Then the devil came to him. But Jesus still had the strength not to give in to the devil. Jesus was filled with the Holy Spirit. And he knew what God had said in the Old Testament. The same is true for us. We need to be full every day with the Spirit of God. And we need to know what God says in the Bible. Then we too can avoid doing wrong things.

Pray

Lord, we too know that it is wrong to worship and serve other gods. Please give us the strength to oppose the devil and to serve only you. Amen.
