Satan offered satisfaction without God

The idea is that even if what God offers is good, you can still get better on your own or that He is still denying you something you COULD have.
Do you believe this lie?
God will feed me and care for me BUT I can get more if I work hard and do it my own way on my own?
Psalm 127:1 Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
How about a lie like this?
God will give me a good job BUT if I’m clever and whitty and do things a certain way I’ll go farther in my career and be paid better than if I waited on God
Matthew 4:4, Deuteronomy 8:3 Man does not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.
Jesus in the wilderness said He’d rather have nothing than have something outside of the will of God.
Let God and God’s will satisfy you. Take all your needs to Jesus and credit Him as King in your life.
