“The
king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon all the men of valour … all
of them strong and fit for war” (2 Kings 24:16) – A prisoner of war is
taken out of the battle. What a sad state of affairs it is, Lord, when
Satan sweeps in and takes control of our lives. Help us to resist Satan –
in Your strength. You are stronger than Satan. Help us to remind him of
this: “Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world” (1
John 4:4).
You call us, Lord, to return to You. You promise to welcome us (2 Chronicles 30:9). Where does our returning come from? Where does our rejoicing come from? They both come from You. You put it into our hearts - to return to You (2 Chronicles 30:12). What joy there is for us when we return to You - "The good Lord pardons every one who sets his heart to seek God" (2 Chronicles 30:18-19).
