Play your part..

Matthew 4:11
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

The devil came, tempted however wasn't successful in his attempts because he wasn't messing around with just anyone but he was messing around with a child of God. Jesus Christ had the Word of God in Him and the very same Word worked as a weapon for Him that is why the devil never stood a chance. Interestingly when everything was taking place God the Father never interfered because He knew that He had already played His part by giving Christ the Word and so it was time for Christ to play His own part by using the Word.

When we receive God's Word it is not for our own amusement nor for motivation but it is a weapon that is given to us to use against the devil in the days of his attacks. Christ received glory after the devil left because he gave him no alternative but to leave. The devil isn't there to be entertained but he is there to be stood against. Every time when a child of God overcomes the devil there is glory and praise in the heavens. Take the Word of God and apply in your life in order for you to overcome because this Word is the Way, Truth and Life.
