My heart was blessed this morning
when my son shared what he read
during his quiet time with God.
He shared with me that he read in Matthew 4
about how the devil tried to tempt Jesus
and how Jesus didn’t give into temptation.
We discussed how Jesus responded
to the devil using Scripture
and how powerful God’s Word is
to fight off temptation.
He said how he really liked that chapter,
how he never really thought about it that way,
and was glad he learned that this morning.
Later, as he was praying over lunch,
he asked the Lord to help him
fight off temptation and to obey.
He asked Him to help him
be more like Jesus.
“And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read,
Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?”
~ Matthew 21:16
“But Jesus said, Suffer little children,
and forbid them not, to come unto me:
for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” ~ Matthew 19:14
“Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child,
the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” ~ Matthew 18:4
“He must increase, but I must decrease.” ~ John 3:30
