Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.
Luke 4:13 (NKJV)
The Lord our Savior after 40 days and 40 nights of fasting and consecration was tempted of the devil three times and as an example for us to learn the lessons of life and be conscious of the tactics of a relentless adversary, the scripture tells that he - the devil departed from our Lord until an opportune time.
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Mark 14:38 (NKJV)
The adversary left lost at his initial trial of temptation but withdrew with the goal of seeking for another opportunity and moment of vulnerability. The need for alertness on the part of every child of God was also highlighted by the Lord to the disciples above. We must remain vigilant at all times in a world steadily hostile to Kingdom principles.
Be encouraged,
