Update! I can't believe how fast the weeks are flying by! This week Murderball was on the sched. Everyone was playing and throwing hard this week with a higher than normal head shot total. The games were all real close and the results very even so in the end we played one more for bragging rights and in the end Devin's team took down Jeremy's team.
This year at Battalion we are looking at Jesus' life, and this week at the temptation of Jesus in the desert.(Matthew 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13)
It is interesting to note that the devil waited until after Jesus had fasted for forty days and was in a weakened condition before he began to tempt him. Three times the devil tempted Jesus and three times Jesus' response was to quote the Bible. This is why memorizing the Bible is so important! If we know God's word we will be able to conquer temptation!(With God's help of course.)
Psalm 119:9-11 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word. I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands. I have hidden your word in my heart that I might sin against you.
2 Peter 2:9a - The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation.
Hebrews 2:18 Because he(Jesus)himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.
Hebrews 4:15,16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one(Jesus)who has been tempted in every way, just as we are - yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
1 Corinthians 10:13 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.
Jesus knows what we are going through and wants to help us out. All we need to do is ask and he will help us avoid temptation!
