May 9
My prayer for you today is that you will have the joy of the Lord as your strength (Nehemiah 8:10); that you will have His peace that passes understanding (Philippians 4:7) as your daily portion; that you will abide in His total health and well-being that He purchased for you at Calvary (Isaiah 53:5); and that you will receive and share His unfailing love for you (Jeremiah 31:3) as you walk as a minister of the gospel through the responsibilities of your life, touching everyone whose life touches yours with the great power of who Jesus is within you.
A strategic component of your ability to exercise the power Jesus has given to you, to access and to utilize that power toward the ministry of who He is within the tabernacle of who you are, lies within these few powerful words--that you refrain from allowing the "little foxes from spoiling the vines," (Song of Solomon 2:15).
Indeed, because the Lord has shielded you from life's unfortunate eventualities through His joy, His peace, His health, His great love for you, the one avenue of attack remaining to the enemy of your soul is through the small annoyances that can rob you of your assurance that Jesus is faithful in His total provision for you.
When the evil one assails you with worry or despair or anxiety or hopelessness, rebuke him immediately with the assertion that Jesus is Lord over all the complexities of your life, that He is faithful to perform what He has promised (Romans 4:21). Never give place to the enemy! Always hold fast to the promises of the Holy One who loves you!
