We thank You, Lord, that victory comes from You - "I have handed Jericho
over to you" (Joshua 6:2). Help us to receive Your victory by faith -
"By faith the walls of Jericho fell down" (Hebrews 11:30). We don't
achieve this victory in our own strength. You give us Your promise of
victory. Help us to believe Your promise - to receive the victory as
Your gift, to stand upon Your promise and claim the victory that You
give to us.
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!
