Lord, You said there will always be temptations to sin (Luke 17:1). Because You faced the same temptations Your followers face, You are aware of the battle that rages within the souls, whether to stand firm or yield to our flesh. In Galatians, You instruct Your followers to “conduct yourself in the manner as the Spirit of God directs so we don’t fall for the devil’s schemes” (5:16). Here is a biblical truth: if the devil had the nerve to tempt You, Jesus, the very Son of God, he won’t hesitate to come after us to snatch away the faith You are building in our lives. But You did not leave us helpless. Here is every Christ-follower’s strength: the same Holy Spirit’s power You used to defeat the devil’s temptation is the same Holy Spirit’s power You placed within each of Your followers. Boom! Lord, help us fully implement this powerful weapon whenever the devil comes around trying to cause trouble.
Like You did, Jesus, we too can send the devil packing. Amen!
THANKFUL
