The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, 13where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of him.

“I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.” 10 “Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ 4:10 Deut 6:13. ”

“Nazareth!” exclaimed Nathanael. “Can anything good come from Nazareth?”

 “Get these things out of here. Stop turning my Father’s house into a marketplace!”

Lord God my Father,

Give me a spirit that is only obedient to you, protect my thoughts and allow me to see deceit before it reaches my thoughts. Give me courage to act on your desire before my thoughts dilute it. Give me a heart that never doubts who you are and cause me to destroy the compromise I have allowed in my heart.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
