Deuteronomy 8:3 And He humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that He might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
Compare God's Word and meaning of this verse in Deuteronomy to that of Satan's tempting in Matthew 4:3 ... Satan was tempting Christ which is to say testing Him by subtly twisting God's Word. Jesus here was fasting and Satan was suggesting that Jesus need only to turn "these" stones to bread in order to have food and end His fast. Satan will at every turn also test you by offering up easy and worldly deterrents away from following Christ and God's Word. (Daily Bread)
Psalms 91:11-12 For He shall give His angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Compare God's Word and meaning of this verse in Psalms to that of Satan's tempting in Matthew 4:6 ... If we are following Christ and God's instruction, He will keep us safe but not to the point of us testing that safety. It is "lest thou dash" not if thou go about trying to dash thy foot will He save/protect us. Satan's suggestion to Christ that He prove He is Christ and that God's Word is accurate by Him casting Himself from a high place was Satan's twisting Scriptures yet again.
Deuteronomy 6:16 Ye shall not tempt the Lord your God, as ye tempted Him in Massah.
Compare this verse in Deuteronomy to Jesus' reiteration of just that to Satan in Matthew 4:7
Matthew 4:1-11 & Luke 4:1-13 are examples of how Satan twists God's Word and tempt us away from God. He is subtle and so confident in his ways to even do it to Christ Himself. The subtlety is that Satan doesn't out right change all of God's Word. He just changes a few bits here in there that if you are not careful and founded in God's Word will lead you astray.
