Have you ever been so hungry that you could’ve eaten a mountain of fries, eight slices of pizza, and maybe even a slice of ice cream cake too?

When we’re hungry, we’d do almost anything to fill our bellies.

Today’s Bible story tells us Jesus was really, really hungry too. He had been fasting forty days. (Fasting is whenever you take a break from meals, or, even worse—chocolate—to focus on your friend- ship with God.) Satan decided that forty days into Jesus’s fast was the perfect time to offer Jesus a temptation in the form of freshly baked bread. Pretty rotten, right?

The next time you’re tempted, remember this: Jesus knows exactly what you’re going through. How it feels to be tempted when you’re struggling or just really, really hungry. Even at one of His toughest moments ever, Jesus told the Enemy, “No thanks.”

Because Jesus already defeated Satan, He’ll give you His amazing power to say “No!” to temptation too.

Jesus, you know what it’s like to be tempted. Help me to do the right thing whenever I’m tempted.
