Lord, where have all the years gone? Five years becomes ten years. Ten
years becomes twenty years. Twenty years becomes forty years …. Is there
something more than this? – We thank You that You are the eternal God.
In all the changing circumstances of our life, help us to remember this:
“The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting
arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27). You are the eternal God. Your love is
unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable. This is our encouragement – when
everything around us is changing. We are encouraged. Lord, may we also
be challenged: How much of our life is bringing glory to You?
We thank You, Lord, that our determined enemy - Satan - is Your defeated enemy. To us, the devil seems so powerful. In Your eyes, He is defeated - defeated by Jesus, our crucified Saviour and risen Lord. Jesus has triumphed over Satan. He has won the victory for us (1 John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14-15). Lord, Your Word says, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you" (James 5:7). Will he really flee from us? He flees from Jesus - but, surely, not from us? Have we not forgotten something? - Jesus won the victory for us. He gives His victory to us. Help us to resist the devil - in the victorious Name of Jesus. He will flee from us. Why? Because Jesus is Lord over Satan. It's not us he's fleeing from. It's Jesus. When the devil comes 'knocking on our door', help us to send Jesus to the door - and send him packing!
