Often life feels complicated, even the spiritual life seems full of conflict. Which decision should be made? What happens if our whole life is turned upside down in a single moment? How will we know what is a right choice?
Three principles come to life in Jesus’ response to being tempted; Number one,we live by every word which comes out of the mouth of God. Two, we are not to put God to the test. Three, we are to worship and serve only God.”
It is God’s specific word that keeps us alive both physically and spiritually (Psalm 139:16, John 3:8). Jesus compared God’s words to our daily food so that we recognize our need to daily meditate on his words.
Secondly we are never to ask God to prove he is who he says he is. We must answer to God. God does not have to answer to us (The book of Job).
Thirdly, God knows our words fall short of true worship so he has designed that we should worship him by serving him. That is our reasonable act of worship (Romans 12:1).
Living by these three principles makes life less complicated.
