Revived By Praise Day 26

Give us help for the hard task; human help is worthless.
In God we'll do our very best; he'll flatten the opposition for good.

Psalm 108:13

Day 26 by Ruth Myers

Father, I praise You that Jesus is the Victor over Satan and all his evil powers-that He triumphed over them through the cross and resurrection, and that You have highly exalted Him. You have given Him a position infinitely superior to all other powers and authorities...a name that stands far above all other names that will ever be used, and-amazing grace-You have raised me up and enthroned me with Him in the heavenly realms.

How I praise You that I need not strive toward a possible victory, but can live from a position of victory already won.that He who is in me (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) is greater than he who is in the world-that although Satan is powerful, he cannot prevail against the blood of the Lamb and the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank You that Stan must retreat before that Name and before Your Word, the living and powerful sword of the Spirit,and that in the end he will be cast down into everlasting defeat and shame.

What a joy to know that You are the same today as You were centuries ago in Isaiah's day, when you promised to rescue Your people in a hopeless-looking situation, when the enemy seemed to have prevailed. How I love the words You spoke to them: "Those who hopefully want for Me will not be put to shame...Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant will be rescued; For I will contend with the one who contends with you, And I will save your sons." I praise You that I can count on You to do this in our spiritual warfare, and that through You we shall do valiantly, for You will trample down our enemies."
