Matthew 4:3-4

After He had gone without food for forty days and forty nights, He became hungry. And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.”

Jesus just finished His fasting and prayer, and the devil comes to Him with temptations. The devil didn’t realize that he was no match for the word! Jesus used the word to answer every temptation, and so should we. He didn’t sit idly by in His thoughts and think about the temptation but cast them out and down by quoting the word of God.
