Lord,
there are bad things happening to us, things that we wish weren't
happening. Sometimes, all of this gets us down. We wonder, "Who really
cares about us? Is there anybody out there - anybody who's really
interested?" We thank You, Lord, that there is an answer to our
question. It's not an answer that comes from the human side. It's an
answer that comes from above, an answer that comes from You. It's the
answer of Your love. You love us in the good times. You love us in the
bad times. Thank You, Lord.
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!
