Lord, what are we to do about our sin? What can we do about it? It keeps
on spreading. We can’t do anything about this. It just gets worse and
worse. What can be done about this? We can do nothing – but Jesus can do
something about it. He’s our Saviour. He comes to us in love. He comes
to us in power. He forgives our sin. He gives us a new beginning. The
past is put behind us. Jesus leads us on to Your eternal glory.
Hallelujah! – “This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvellous in our
eyes” (Psalm 118:23).
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!
