“It is written…” (Matthew 4:4, 7, 10)
Someone has said and it has often been repeated that, “It is written,” is nourishing enough, “It is written,” is comfort enough, and “It is written,” is authority enough.
When Satan tempted Jesus following His forty days of fasting in the wilderness, Jesus responded to each temptation with the use of quotations from the Bible, prefaced with, “It is written.”
The psalmist said, “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. (Psalm 119:11) Jesus had hidden God’s word in His heart, something you and I must do, knowing that sooner or later we will face Satan’s temptations. Are you hiding God’s Word in your heart through reading, memorizing, meditating upon it and studying it?
