“The Lord is with me like a mighty warrior; so my persecutors will stumble and not prevail” (Jeremiah 20:11).
This is a tremendous Word of encouragement when the battle is at its
fiercest. In this battle, we are empowered by the Holy Spirit (1 Thessalonians 1:5),
empowered to speak for the Lord and to live for Him. He gives us the
strength to battle for the glory of God, “not trying to please men but
God ... not looking for praise from men” (1 Thessalonians 1:4,6).
This is the way of blessing - the way of doing what God wants us to do
- “blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to
the law of the Lord” (Psalm 119:1).
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
