We are continuing with a brief review of part 1. When you hit temptation do three things: look ahead, look within, and look around. In James, it says when a man has endured temptation he shall receive the crown of life.  Second, look within and make sure the temptation isn't coming from you. Thirdly, look around, For example, Jesus defeated the adversary by saying, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.

Matt. 4:8 we see the next temptation which is world dominion: "all these things will I give unto you if you would bow down and worship him." Jesus demonstrated the second temptation by looking around and confirming the word within him.  The crown of life is will be stolen had Jesus yielded to his enticement.  

In Deut. 13:16 we can read about the good life that had been promised. Fear in this text is a reverential fear. A healthy wholesome fear of God. Isa. 42:8 says I am the Lord that is my name and my glory I will not give to another, nor my praise to a graven image.
