"Do not rejoice over me, O
my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a
light to me" (Micah 7:8).
You are the God who turns
our battles into victories, our challenges into opportunities, and our
sufferings into obedience. You even take the places of our sin and shame,
cleanse them in Your blood, and then use them as places of authority with
compassion in the lives of others. You are our redeemer, abounding in steadfast
love and full of tender mercies, always at work turning our ashes to beauty and
despair to praise (Isaiah 61:3).
The enemy of our souls
mocks and laughs, as he works to tempt us and trick us and torment us into
giving up or giving in. But You always have the last laugh-"He who sits in
heaven laughs; the Lord has them in derision" (Psalm 2:4). You hear us when we
call and rush to us in our distress, mighty to save (Psalm 18:6-19). Though we
may fall, we will rise; though we may sit in darkness, our light will break
forth like noon day, when we humble ourselves to call on Your name and fully
entrust ourselves into Your hands. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
Be encouraged today! In
the Love of Jesus, Tommy
