Scripture: Isaiah 7:5 and 6 (NIV): "Aram, Ephraim and Remalish's son have plotted your ruin, saying, 'Let us invade Judah; let us tear it apart and divide it among ourselves, and make the son of Tabeel king over it.' "
Thought: To me, our perfect love for God will cast out all fear of the enemy.
Question: Do I sense an invasion against me by the enemy?
The enemy may "plot ruin"; he may devise a violent plan against us. Satan desires to "invade" our souls, our lives, and "tear" them "apart". Satan seeks to bring division and subservience. But this evil intent need not strike fear into our hearts.
The enemy seeks to conquer Holy land. He believes his invasion, or rapid, multiplied aggression, can defeat the keepers of the Holy land. But though Satan always has these intentions, he will not succeed. We need to remember Who indwells us--Who it is that makes us holy by His ownership of our hearts. Though the enemy may intend to take over our "land" and rule it, he may not.
Prayer: Great God and Father, thank You that Your Lordship of my life means I need never fear Satan or his "invasion." Thank You for Your conquering power! Amen.
