8.25- Just say "No."

8.25-
There are times that foolish things are presented to us.  The answer needs to be "No."  Not  "maybe.  Not "I'll think about it."  Just "No."

Foolish ideas have been presented to Godly people forever.  Sometimes the evil one presents them as an opportunity for God to use angels to rescue us.  When you needing to get some place it is good to use a way to get there that is not foolish.  They way to get down off a high place is to take the stairs.  If someone presents a foolish way to get someplace the answer is to say, "No."  Jesus did not jump off the pinnacle of the temple.  He said, "No."  He reminds us to not do foolish things to test and tempt God.  Just say, "No." 



Matthew 4.

4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. ² And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He ^[a]then became hungry. ³ And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” ⁴ But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”

⁵ Then the devil *took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and *said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written,

‘He will command His angels concerning You’;

and

‘On their hands they will bear You up,
So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

⁷ Jesus said to him, “^[b]On the other hand, it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
