Lord,
living for You is not easy. We have a fight on our hands. Satan is a
determined enemy. Help us to remember that He's also a defeated enemy.
When the battle seems to be getting too much for us, help us to remember
that we are "kept by the power of God" (1 Peter 1:3-5).
Lord, help us never to think, “We are blessed because we are obedient.” Help us always to say, “We are blessed because You love us and Jesus died for us.” Your love for us, Jesus’ death for us: This is where the blessing comes from – and it’s where our obedience comes from! We think of Your great love for us. We think of Jesus, crucified for us. We say, “Lord, You love me. Help me to love You.” We say, “Jesus, You died for me. Help me to live for You.” This is how Your blessing comes to us – You show us how much You love us, You put Your love into our hearts, the obedience grows stronger – and so does the blessing!
