Thought for the Day: “Keep reminding Satan of Christ’s victory … “

Filed under: Daily Devotional Readings, Job, Thought for the Day — Charles Cameron @ 12:31 pm

Keep reminding Satan of Christ’s victory. In Him, we are “more than conquerors”!

———————-

This thought is taken from

 

Job 9:20-10:22

 

Job thinks that God is ‘against’ him. He thinks that he is condemned by God (10:2). Where do these negative thoughts come from? Do they come from God? No! God has a very positive view of Job - ‘My servant Job’ (1:8). Job is being attacked by Satan, ‘the accuser’ of God’s people (Revelation 12:10). Satan puts negative thoughts into Job’s mind. What are we to do when Satan attacks us in this way? Look to the Cross of Christ, rejoicing in God’s love for us (Romans 5:8).Take our stand in Jesus Christ - ‘There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus’ (Romans 8:1). Remind Satan of Christ’s victory - ‘the gates of hell shall not prevail against’ us. Resist Satan - ‘Get behind me, Satan!’ - , confident that ‘we are more than conquerors through Christ’ (Matthew 16:18,23; Romans 8:37).
