Matthew 4:5–7
Scripture Summary: The tempter urges Jesus to prove God’s care through spectacle, twisting Scripture to provoke doubt. Jesus responds by refusing to test God, choosing trust over manipulation.
Devotion: It’s tempting to demand signs when faith feels fragile. Jesus shows us that trust grows not through proof, but through steady faithfulness, even when God seems silent.
Prayer: God, help me trust You without needing proof or control. Amen.
