We
rejoice in Your love. Help us, Lord, not to forget Your holiness. You
fill us with Your love. You call us to be holy. Lead us, O Lord, in Your
way of love. Lead us in Your way of holiness. It won't be easy -
walking with You on Your pathway of holiness. When the going gets tough,
help us to remember that we're not on our own. You are with us every
day. You are with us - all the way.
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!
