Take a Moment for a Daily Devotion
The Lord sets forth the roles and responsibilities in Deuteronomy. The concept of having checks and balances for positions of power is biblical and imperative for healthy leadership.
What should we do when someone wrongly judges us and attacks our character? Should we be defensive, or follow Christ’s example?
We must understand that, because we are in Christ and Christ is in us, we have authority as we submit to God. This authority is in order to resist the devil, stand firm, and serve as Christ’s ambassadors.
What a year we leave behind! What a year lays ahead! God is in control—no matter how out of control our years may seem to be. Let’s be intentional to not miss the opportunities the Lord has given us.
There is nothing that God has not anticipated or seen coming; nothing He can’t handle. if you’re reading this, God is not finished with you! What new thing does God want to do in this year? It won’t be based on self-effort. Rather, on your faith in what Jesus has accomplished. Greater things are still to come!
Our role is not passive in receiving God’s protection. God requires us to be active participants in the spiritual defense that He has provided for us.
