God’s Power Principle For Today: (Satan) was a murderer from the
beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him…He
is a liar and the father of it.” (John 8:44).
Hey
Gang: It is important for God’s people
to be aware of the practices of the evil one and keep their armor oiled and
polished. It is also important for each
of us to remember that Satan does not have the power to read our minds but he
is a real pro at reading our actions. It
is also important to remember that he is a “never
giver upper”. Satan saw he was not
making progress in gaining control of Jesus in the wilderness, so he departed
until a more opportune time. He will surely use the same tactic on each of us.
But: What a
wondrous promise we have from the very mouth of Jesus in John 10:27: “My sheep hear My
voice, and I know them, and they follow Me, and I give eternal life to them,
and they will never perish, and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s
hand. I and the Father are one”.
God’s word
is filed with power verses of protection for His children. In this day of growing evilness, when Satan
has unleashed all of his powers for he knows his time is short, it is so very
important that we keep our heart and mind filled with those promises and use
them as weapons against the evil one and his minions.
Is it not
fabulous that we can say as the Psalmist, “I
will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, My God, in whom I
trust!” For it is He who delivers you
from the snare of the trapper and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under
His wings you may seek refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark”?
(Psa. 91:2-4).
Do you have
a hard time understanding that the God of all creation literally holds all of
His sheep, all those whose name is written in the Lamb’s Book of Life in His
hands? When I think about His words and
compare them to my past life, I wonder why He was not only willing to come to
earth and walk in my shoes, but also to lay down His life on a hideous cross so
that I can gain the wonders of eternal life with Him.
So my young
chicks, if the way seems a little rocky, and I can guarantee you there will be
times when the road will be very rocky, keep in mind that your refuge and
strength never slumbers or sleeps, that our security rests only in the
Lord. He is truly your “way, truth and life”
and His joy can be yours this day. So,
pray the prayer of Eliezer: “Lord Give
Me Success” (Gen 24:12) and get about being a sower of God’s seeds
Blessings,
