September 7: 2Kings 25; 2Chronicles 36; Jeremiah 40-41; Revelation 12
Scripture: Revelation 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
Observation: In this verse we get some insight on the work of our enemy, the devil. He is a tattle-tale. He brings up all the wrongs of God’s people. He wants to make us look bad and make God disappointed in us. He wants to convince God that the plan to create a body of people from the earth to rule and reign has failed. He would like to prove that Jesus died for nothing so he points out the failures of those for whom Jesus died.
Application: I need to remember that when I sin, I am giving the devil opportunity to accuse me before God. I want to be quick to seek God’s forgiveness, turn away from sin, and live in such a way that the devil has nothing to throw in God’s face.
And also I need to remember that when I am talking bad about my brothers and sisters I am helping the devil in his work.
Prayer: Lord, Today let my mouth be filled with praise for you and encouragement for others. Amen.
