The normal Christian life. ( 1 Peter 5 v 8 - 11 )

Now we come to the last of the wilderness temptations by the devil,on Jesus, the motive behind this temptation,is a desire by the devil to be God,pride filled his being, and he was expelled from heaven. Alas from that time on he became an enemy of God,and humanity.and of course he is called a liar, indeed the father of lies, by Jesus ( John 8 v 44 ). He promised Jesus the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, if only He would bow down and worship him.It is interesting that Satan does not use scripture in relation to this temptation,for Jesus points out that which satan already knew,that we are to only worship the Lord, and only serve Him  ( Deuteronomy 6 v 13 ).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    A  prayer.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Dear Lord,you who faced satan in all his deviousness,                                                                            help us to not be lured by his lies,in your name we ask                                                                            this.  Amen
