We thank You, Lord, for Your power. You
are ‘mighty to save’. We thank You for Your love. You have shown Your
‘steadfast love’ to us. You have become our ‘Saviour’. ‘In Your love’,
You have ‘redeemed’ us (Isaiah 63:1,7-9). What love You have
for us - ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only Son...’ (John
3:16)! What power there is in Your Gospel of love - ‘The Gospel is the
power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes’ (Romans 1:16)!
What a ‘Saviour’ we have - Our Lord Jesus Christ is ‘able to save to the
uttermost all who come to God through Him’ (Hebrews 7:25)! We think of
Jesus Christ. We think of His love, His power, His salvation. We thank
You, Lord, for all that Jesus has done for us - ‘Alleluia! What a
Saviour!’
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!
