Over Jordan with Singing
Your enemies shall submit to you.
~ Deuteronomy 33:29
"That archenemy, the devil, is a liar from the beginning; but he is so very plausible that, like Eve, we are led to believe him. Yet in our experience we shall prove him a liar.
He says that we shall fall from grace, dishonor our profession, and perish with the doom of apostates; but, trusting in the Lord, we shall hold onto our way and prove that Jesus loses none whom His Father gave Him. He tells us that our bread will fail, and we shall starve; yet the Feeder of the ravens has not forgotten us yet, and He will prepare us a table in the presence of our enemies. He whispers that the Lord will not deliver us out of our trial. What a liar he is! The Lord will never leave us, nor forsake us.
The devil takes great delight in telling us that death will prove too much for us. "How will you do in the floodplain of the Jordan?" But there also he shall prove a liar unto us, and we shall pass through the river singing psalms of glory." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdome come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give this day our daily bread. Forgive us of all our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil:for Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
