Satan Cannot Stand a Text
Luke 4:8
And Jesus answered and said to him, Get you behind me, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God…


"What's wrang wi' ye nee? I thocht ye were a' richt," said a ragged boy, himself rejoicing in the Saviour, to another, who a few nights before professed to be able to trust Jesus, but who had again begun to doubt. "What's wrung wi' ye nee? Man, I'm no richt yet," replied the other, "for Satan's aye tempting me." "And what dae ye then?" asked his friend. "I try," said he, "to sing a hymn." "And does that no send him away?" "No; I am as bad as ever." "Weel," said the other, "when he tempts ye again, try him wi' a text; he canna staun then."
