ALL DAY

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:"

1 Peter 5:8
King James Version

It makes satan very angry when we serve Jesus and he will do all he can do to discourage us so much that we stop serving Jesus. We must not let that happen. We must stay on the battlefield for Jesus just as He stayed on the cross for us.

I had a very frustrating day and satan tried his best to discourage me so much that I give up and stop serving Jesus. However, Jesus has already defeated satan on the cross.

Ray Overholt wrote the beautiful, inspiring and heart touching hymn "TEN THOUSAND ANGELS". As you read the words in this hymn, allow it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge how much Jesus loves you.

"They bound the hands of Jesus In the garden where He prayed They led Him thro' the streets in shame They spat upon the Savior So pure and free from sin They said crucify Him He's to blame.

He could have called ten thousand angels To destroy the world and set Him free He could have called ten thousand angels But He died alone for you and me."

What about you? Are you willing to shut off the television, get out of your comfort zone and tell everyone that Jesus loves them so much He died for them?

Jesus got out of His comfort zone. He left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross and pay the penalty for your sins and for my sins.

O how I love Jesus! He is the Joy of my heart and the reason I get out of bed when my arthritis and gout are hurting so much and write the devotions He lays on my heart to write.

One happy and joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing Him face to face. Are you going to see Him face to face?
