John 10:10 (NKJV) 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
We have an enemy. He has one purpose; to steal, kill and destroy.
And who does he want to steal from, kill and destroy? Us. You and me.
This is evident each and every day that we live and breathe. We see death and destruction all around us. Sometimes it affects us directly, up close and personal. Other times we just see it from a distance, as it wreaks havoc with those around us or people we don’t know.
And, yes, it can be scary and intimidating sometimes.
But, God has given us hope and a reason to rejoice!
And that reason has a name; Jesus Christ.
Jesus came so that we may have abundant life in Him! He has defeated the enemy once and for all.
Revelation 1:18 (NKJV) 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
No matter what things look like on the surface, we need to always remember that God is still in control. He is still on the throne.
And even in the midst of our trials and hard times, our joy and happiness can still prevail. Why? Because we have a Savior who is alive, even after being crucified and laid in the grave.
More than that, we can have abundant life in Him! Our lives don’t have to be mundane and worrisome. We don’t have to rise up each morning dreading the day ahead of us.
Rise up each morning knowing that we have victory in Jesus. And when the enemy whispers in your ear, telling you that you are defeated and hopeless, don’t buy the lie.
Stand up tall and rebuke his filthy lies, in the name of Jesus. Victory and abundance in Jesus are yours! Amen.
