BIBLE MEDITATION: “Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Have you ever gotten into an argument with a family member on the way to church? Don’t look so pious! Every preacher knows that the devil will try to attack God’s children right before and after church on the way in the car! There is a spiritual principle here that we need to learn. It is what I call “the devil after the dove” principle. Just as when Jesus was baptized and a dove descended, then right after He was led into the wilderness and tempted. When God does something great, or when you get the approval of God about something, you can expect the attack of the enemy. Leonard Ravenhill said, “When God opens the windows of heaven to bless us, the devil is going to open the doors of hell to blast us.”
ACTION POINT: Have you had a wonderful spiritual experience recently? Then, you better not start coasting. If the devil tempted Jesus, be sure he will tempt you, as well. Ask God to give you His strength to overcome temptation today.
