Settling

And he (Satan) led Him (Jesus) up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world (the inhabited earth) in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
Luke 4:5-6 NASB1995

and he (Satan) said to Him (Jesus), “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.”
Matthew 4:9 NASB1995

“The world!” I’m not settling for this world when God offers the best. Good things come to those who wait. The best is yet to come.

Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.
Isaiah 40:31 NASB1995

in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
2 Timothy 4:8 NASB1995

Jesus’ response to Satan:

. . . “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’ ”

🌹What are you settling for?
