Get away, Satan. I will not serve you.

"And he said to him, “All these I shall give to you, if you will prostrate yourself and worship me.”
At this, Jesus said to him, “Get away, Satan! It is written:
‘The Lord, your God, shall you worship
and him alone shall you serve.’”  (Matthew 4: 9 - 10)

Satan promises Jesus all He wants if Jesus worships him.  But the promise is fake and untrue as we see from the response of Jesus:  “Get away, Satan! It is written:
‘The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.’”

In Mathew 6: 33, Jesus promises us all that we want if we seek first His kingdom and righteousness.  This is a promise that is proven true for over 2000 years. Matthew 6: 33 is one of the most researched scripture verse in the entire bible. It is my favorite. The promise of Jesus covers all critical areas of human life and happiness, viz: family, finances, job, health, tools and property, food, future.  We obtain all these in accordance to God's will and plan for our lives.  Bear in mind that God is a loving Father who has good and great plans for all His children. (Jeremiah 29:11)  In the light of this, God will not give His child a snake when the child needs a fish. (Luke 11: 11)

It is not necessary to worship Satan to get all we need for your life and happiness.  God has already promised ample provision for us.  When we work to know His will and plan for our lives, we will appreciate better His Divine Providence working for us.

My take away from today's bible verse is this:  “Get away, Satan! It is written:
‘The Lord, your God, shall you worship and him alone shall you serve.  I will not serve you Satan.  I will not obey you.’”
