The day of the trial in the wilderness. {Hebrews 3:8}

Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. {James 1:13-15}

They gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland. {Psalms 106:14}

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry. The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread." {Luke 4:1-3}

He himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. {Hebrews 2:18} "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat, but I prayed for you, that your faith wouldn't fail." {Luke 22:31,32}
