What great love, Lord, You have for us. There is no love like Your love
for us. It’s the best love! What joy You give to us – the joy that comes
from knowing that we are loved with “everlasting love” (Jeremiah 31:3).
Help us, Lord, to rejoice in Your love, to be changed by Your love, to
share Your love. Your love: It’s the best thing we could ever receive
from You – and it’s the best thing we can pass on to other people!
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!
