Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry.
And
the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become
bread.”
And
Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’”
Luke
4:1-4
When we are having a tough time, taking the easy way out looks good. Easy does not mean right and we need to consider whether the easy way will make things better or not, and whether the easy way lines up with the teachings of the Bible. Doing the easy thing to avoid the consequences of doing the right thing is not right.
Doing what is right is not a matter of us being comfortable. It is a matter of following the teachings of Jesus and trusting God.
