Lord,
what are
we to do ‘when the enemy comes in like a flood’? Help us to look away
from
ourselves to Jesus Christ. He has ‘come’ as our ‘Redeemer’. Trusting in
Him, we pray that ‘the Spirit of the the Lord will come
like a rushing stream’. We pray that ‘the wind of the Lord’ will
come sweeping through us with much blessing (Isaiah 59:19-20). In
ourselves, there
is no blessing - ‘salvation... is far from us’. ‘Our sins have
separated us from God’. We need to receive ‘salvation’ from You, Lord
(Isaiah 59:11,2,17). May we not delude ourselves. Satan is stronger than
we are.
We have no hope of victory over Satan - until we put our trust in Jesus
Christ. Without Christ, we are helpless and hopeless. With Him, we shall
be victorious. He is ‘the Rock of our salvation’ (Matthew 7:24-27; 2
Samuel 22:47; 1 Corinthians 10:4). We thank You, Lord, that, in our
battle against Satan, we are not alone. Jesus is with us - every step of
the way.
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
