Reply To: OCU C)SP D Week 04 Devotion
This is such a powerful reminder of how Jesus modeled true strength and obedience in the face of temptation. Even after fasting for 40 days and being physically weak, He stood firm on God’s Word instead of giving in to momentary satisfaction or worldly power. What stands out most is that Jesus didn’t rely on His own willpower; He relied on Scripture and the Spirit. That same Spirit now lives in us, giving us the ability to resist temptation and stand strong when life tests us. When we’re overwhelmed or feel like giving up, we can remember that Jesus already conquered sin and gave us victory through faith. Temptation may be real, but God’s power in us is greater. Every time we turn to Him instead of giving in, we reflect the same victory Jesus showed in the wilderness. Our faith truly overcomes the world.
