He often tempts people by showing them the worldly glories. But who is taught by God will know that this world is vain, and vanishes away. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away. But Satan, in his never-ending opposition to the Scripture, tries to show the glory as if it was solid and everlasting. A comfortable house, a loving wife, a good husband, a good job, lovely children, a safe country, a nice car, etc., all this vanishes away, and is idle.
All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field.
All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. The Satan here arrogates himself a power which he not has, for only God gives all things to whom He wills. I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. So, if one needs some things of this earth, like food or a place to live, or cloths, let him ask God. He does not need any other.
