We look back, Lord, to what You have done for us. We look forward to
all that You will do for us. We remember our Saviour, crucified for us.
We await our Saviour, coming for us. Fill our hearts, Lord, with
thanksgiving for all that You have done for us. In Your great love for
us, You have given to us Your great salvation. Fill our hearts with the
faith that faces the future with the confidence that Your love will
never fail us - You will lead us safely on to Your heavenly and eternal
glory.
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!
