Matthew 4:1 “Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.”

The Spirit of God, for reasons known only to Him, sometimes leads us right into the place of temptation, but He does not tempt us.  The Bible says, “Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed” (James 1:13-14).  When God allows us to be tempted it is for a reason, and when we, with God’s help, overcome temptation, it proves our love for Him and makes us stronger.
