I was reading last night in Luke 4 about the temptation of Jesus and it especially caught my eye this time more than ever that the devil came to him at the end of a long hard fast. The enemy does come to steal, kill, and destroy so what better time to attack than when you are tired and hungry. It is when he perceives you are at your weakest he will surely strike.
It is so important for any of us out there that are participatng in this fast to be prayed up. It is interesting t note that when the devil came to tempt Jesus he was prepared with scriptures to knock down every thing that was thrown His way. Only through much prayer and study in this time will you be prepared for all that comes into your path. And be alert, just because you are seeking God more doesn't mean the enemy will back off and make it comfortable for you! He is the father of lies and will never play fair!
