Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
En attendant que la grande victoire de Dieu soit pleinement réalisée, nous devons aussi savoir que nous sommes dans une bataille. Dieu gagnera cette bataille par Jésus-Christ. Le résultat final est certain. Le Christ a déjà gagné la bataille décisive. Cependant, ne soyons pas dupes; le méchant fera tout ce qu'il peut pour tromper tout le monde et confondre les perdus. Tenons-nous en au plan de Dieu: vivre sa vérité, écouter sa voix dans les Écritures et suivre la direction de son Esprit.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
While we wait for God's great victory for us to be fully realized, we also need to know that we are in a very intense battle. Our most brutal struggles are not with flesh and blood people, but spiritual powers and wickedness in spiritual places (Ephesians 6:10-12). These evil powers often use "false apostles, deceitful workers" and people "masquerading" as Jesus' servants (2 Corinthians 11:13). God will win this battle with all who are false through Jesus Christ when he returns. The outcome is certain. Jesus won that battle on the cross (Colossians 2:15), and he will return and reign until every one of his enemies is defeated (1 Corinthians 15:24-25). Christ has already won, however, let's not be fooled; the evil one will do everything possible to deceive all people, use false teachers, and confuse the lost. Let's stick with God's plan — living his truth, listening for his voice in Scripture, and following the lead of his Spirit (1 John 2:20-27).
Ma Prière...
Saint Seigneur, donne-moi, s'il te plaît, la capacité de discerner la vérité et de résister à la tromperie de Satan. S'il te plaît, donne-moi la force de ton Esprit alors que je cherche à vivre victorieusement pour toi. Au nom de Jesus. Amen.
My Prayer...
Holy Lord, please give me the ability to discern truth and resist the deception of Satan and those he uses to teach us false things and lead us astray. Please empower me with your Spirit and give me your wisdom to discern what is true, right, and holy as I seek to live victoriously for you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
