FAITH MOMENT REFLECTION
Today’s text reminds us that our capacity to repent and to
resist temptation comes from our relationship with God and
the grace of his deliverance rather than from our own
strength and initiative. Both Jesus and the devil quote
Scripture. In response to temptation, Jesus quotes from
Deuteronomy, but it is not enough to know Scripture. The
devil, who quotes from Psalm 91, also knows Scripture.
Scripture must be read rightly in light of God’s nature and
the life envisioned for God’s people. Such a life is rooted in
God’s narrative of deliverance and a response of faithful
obedience to God rather than in self-reliance, which is the
devil’s story.
