Overcoming temptations is a lifelong pursuit and can often seem more than we can handle.
Understanding the story of the temptation of Jesus and how the Savior overcame Satan
can be a powerful formula for our own daily struggle against evil.
After Jesus' baptism in the Jordan River, the Savior knew His mission was about to begin
and that He would need His Father's guidance more than ever.
Anticipating the difficulties that lay ahead,
He went into the barren wilderness near the Jordan River and fasted for forty days.
Here in the desolate mountains, with no concern of his own daily physical sustenance,
the Savior focused instead on His spiritual need to be nurtured and strengthened by God.
After the spiritual outpouring that He must have had as He communed with His Father,
Satan came desiring to tempt Him in His moment of greatest physical weakness.
Each of the three temptations teach us about some of the most powerful tactics of Satan,
but more importantly, how we can overcome evil by following the Savior's example.
The first temptation of Satan was asking the Savior to turn stones into bread
that He might eat, satisfying his own personal hunger and appetite.
The Savior in turn, to combat the tempter, quoted scripture stating,
"It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."
In other words, the first thing that Jesus does to fight Satan is quote scripture,
and not just any scripture, He quotes from Deuteronomy, part of the Law of Moses.
This passage refers to the Lord's message
to the people just before they entered the Promised Land.
For forty years they had feasted on manna from heaven,
but now they would need to labor for their own food.
The Lord, desiring to teach them a spiritual lesson,
taught that though they did live on bread in the wilderness,
ultimately eternal life comes by obeying and feasting on the word of God.
It was not that Jesus would not eat, or that Jesus could not perform the miracle,
it was that He came into the wilderness to hear the word of God and commune with His Father,
not to give in to an easy way to appease His appetites.
Ironically, at a later time Jesus would actually miraculously produce bread,
feeding the multitudes on several occasions,
but these later miracles were to bless others, not to satisfy His own desires.
Satan next took Jesus to a high mountain where He showed the Savior the kingdoms of the earth
and promised Him power and glory over all the nations, if He would just worship him.
Once again, the Lord quotes from the Law, in the book of Deuteronomy stating:
"it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
Satan here seems to be appealing to the human desire to have power and dominion,
but in an easy, simple way. A shortcut so to speak.
Again, the Savior would at some point have all glory and power, but not through a simple
act of worship, but through great adversity, pain and suffering.
Satan, seeing that He had not succeeded up to this point, finally takes the Savior to
the beautiful city of Jerusalem, to the pinnacle of the temple,
tempting him to cast himself down to be miraculously saved.
As part of this last temptation, Satan, apparently wanting to imitate the Savior,
likewise quoted from scripture.
Interestingly though, Satan only quotes from Psalms,
seeming to show his lack of understanding
of the far greater power of the books of the Law.
The pinnacle of the temple, where Satan takes the Savior,
most likely refers to the south western side of the temple mount.
From this location the temple priests would blow the shofar to announce the coming of
the Sabbath and the beginning of the Jewish Festivals.
It also overlooked a very busy intersection with many shops almost 140 feet below.
This was a place to announce things, and in particular, religious announcements.
Thus, Jesus casting himself down to the busy street below and then being carried up by
the angels would be a fitting location to easily announce His Messiahship.
Again the focus is on the easy way out for receiving glory.
Interestingly, the actual stone from which the temple priests would blow their trumpets,
was found in 1969 just below the pinnacle where it had fallen.
Also several shops from the time period of Jesus
and the street below have likewise been excavated,
giving us a glimpse into the view the people would have had
if the Savior had given in to this temptation.
To once again overcome Satan, Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy for a third time stating,
"It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
After seeing that he could not tempt the Savior, and that he had lost, Satan left the Lord.
From these three temptations we learn that Satan will often come to us after powerful
spiritual experiences and in our moments of greatest weakness.
He also seeks to allure us by appealing to our physical appetites
and our desire to easily gain power and glory.
Each of these things in and of themselves are not necessarily evil,
but when we are not willing to go through trials and hard work,
we will never truly gain the blessing of life eternal.
We also learn that the main key for Jesus to oppose Satan was by quoting scripture.
This not only implies that from a young age Jesus studied and knew the scriptures,
but He had internalized them making them a part of His daily life.
He knew them well enough to know exactly what verse He needed in the very moment of testing!
Perhaps the most powerful lesson
is that in the end Jesus does do each of these three things,
not for His own selfish purposes, but instead to bless the lives of others.
Jesus does miraculously produce bread and is called the true bread of life,
which if we partake of, we will gain eternal life.
At His Second Coming the Savior will gain all power and glory over all the kingdoms
of the earth but only after great tribulation and struggle, and then to give it all to us
allowing us to inherit all things that the Father hath.
And lastly, as we all experience our own daily and lifelong struggles,
the Savior through ministering angels and the power of His atonement
will lift us up as on eagle's wings taking us to the heavens above.
In the end, all that the Savior ever did and still does today,
is to bless each one of us
showing us that true power and glory comes through serving others.

【Speedpaint】- Sailor Moon - Duration: 6:59.
Hi everyone!
This is Sailor Moon, a chibi commission! :D
I never really do fanart commissions, but I do accept them!
I haven't drawn chibis in forever
so you can bet I am experimenting this hehe..
I have a hard time deciding on what lineart style I want
By that I meant, thicc lineart, or thin..
I end up doing more thick lineart because it's easier?
and makes my art look like stickers tbh
but I do want to practice more til I am satisfied!
I left out the lineart for those small circle jewels
and you'll see why later!
this wand was hard to draw lol
A lot of people ask me about how I keep my colors inside
So before I start my coloring process,
I set the lineart layer to "selection source" which turns green
Then I use the select wand and select outside of the lineart
and then invert it, which then captures the character
Fill it in with skin color
and create a folder, clip it above the skin, and that's going to be
where all the colors will go.
So here you see I'm coloring the beads now
What I do here is create a layer above the lineart layers
make it grey first, then with the color white, draw circles
to represent the beads
Afterwards, just shade it by clipping a layer on top ^_^
To minimize excessive layers, I try to put everything w/ the same color in 1 layer
So then blues with blues and whites with whites
Here i'm doing the same as I explained earlier
After finishing all my colors, I lock my lineart layers and color over them
to match similarly to its base color
this creates a softer effect to your lineart and art in general!
I had a really fun time coloring this chibi,
I didn't think it'd be that great because I didn't draw chibis
very often. But it turned out satisfying for me ^^
Thank you so much for watching

Summer Clothing Try On Haul 2019 | Hawaii Edition - Duration: 3:51.
hey guys so I'm going to Hawaii in about like five days and I wanted some cute
summer clothes to wear there so I went shopping and thought I would show you
guys what I got all right so let's start with forever 21 cuz I only got one thing from
there it's these like touristy white shorts there were only two dollars which
is a steal and I will try to link everything below by the way
so these corduroy velvet shorts I got from Dillard's and they're just
high-waisted kind of old-fashioned looking and I'm really gonna get a kick
out of wearing these I'm also from Dillard's
I got the flirty high-waisted shorts they're just super flowy and something I
would definitely wear on a hike or even to the beach this is a little bit more
dress-up II I believe like kind of like going out its corduroy as well it's a
little jean skirt it's frayed at the bottom and the thing I love about it are
these little flowers embroidered into it it's just so cute and adorable
definitely my favorite part about the skirt next for the American Eagle I only
got one thing from there also mom jeans that are black because I've been needing
more black jeans and the only thing I don't like about them is that they come
up super short on me but I can just pair them with a pair of vans and then it'll
kind of look like it was meant to be short moving on some more affordable
storage I got this crocheted tank top and it's so beachy looking like when you
go onto Pinterest and you see pictures of people at the beach you usually see
like tank tops like this and I've been looking for them forever and I finally
found one is flirty flowy top with this v-neck I think the v-neck is my favorite
part about it it's just like super flattering the only thing that kind of
bugs me are how the buttons go down sideways but I guess I could get used to
it and from Goodwill my favorite place to go I cannot believe I found a fanny
pack oh my gosh I've been looking for one that's like old fashioned and black
because I just want something that I can wear with anything and this is death
it's I'm so pumped about it and I got these velvet lacy tops these are really
popular right now like wearing them underneath a bulky sweater so that's
what I plan on doing so I got one in black and I also got one in this old
navy color and this blue oh my gosh it's so adorable I love it I got some more
shorts but these are a little bit more like high fashion looking I got these
Nike shorts with like the colorful trim I just love how each like trim is a
different color I think it's super unique and cute last thing I'm not
taking this with me to Hawaii I just bought it because I'll probably wear it
to class it's just like an oversized yellow shirts long-sleeved and I thought
it'd be super cute to like embroider like a little sign on it or like a
flower because I see that on Pinterest all the time and I'm always like how do
they do that and I'm gonna learn this is gonna be my practice shirt and it's
gonna be super cute oh wait that wasn't the last thing I actually also got this
top for swimwear it's just super colorful
and has that fish-scale look to it and it's also like rainbow and I just think
that's so adorable can't wait to find a matching bottom I need like a dark blue
to match it but yeah shopping for all this stuff made me like ten times more
excited to go to Hawaii so make sure you subscribe so you can see my upcoming
vlogs about that experience it's gonna be super fun
thank you guys so much for watching please give it a thumbs up if you
