Always Give a Wise Answer

 

The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

—Matthew 4:3-4

When someone asks you a serious question, or tries to persuade you to do something out of character, it’s best if you give a wise and thoughtful answer.

Case in point, found in Matthew 4:3-4:

The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

At the beginning of this new day, we do well if we pattern our answers like Jesus did. He answered by quoting Scripture. If we base our answers on God’s written Word, how can we possibly go wrong?
