‘Set up road signs; put
up guideposts. Take note of the highway, the road that you take’
(Jeremiah 31:21). Lord, it’s so easy, for us, to take a wrong turning.
We lose our sense of direction. We get confused. We're not sure which
way to go. We get lost. We're getting more and more lost all the time.
We can’t find our way back home again. We need someone who knows the way
to come and be our guide. We wonder, "Is there someone who can get us
on the right road again? Is there someone who can guide us safely home?"
We thank You, Lord, that You have answered our question. Your answer is
"Yes!" We thank You that Jesus is ‘the Way, the True Way, the Living
Way’ (John 14:6). We thank You for Jesus - our Guide and our 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!
