Temptation

In Matthew chapter 4 we see Jesus enter the wilderness to face temptation. The devil and him have a chat and the devil tempts him to sin three different times. The writer of Psalm 119 in verse 11 says that they hid the word of God in their heart so they would not sin. In Matthew four we see Jesus using the Word of God to overcome temptation and not sin.

Three different times he says it is written, or the scriptures say, depending on your translation, and then uses the following scripture to overcome temptation. Temptation is going to come knocking on your door, will you be ready? Read the word and hide it in your heart so you will not sin.
