Devotions for Each Morning of the Year
Joyce Meyer
November 29
"Just think of Him who endured from sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and fainting in your minds." (Hebrews 12:3)
We have authority over the devil, but that doesn't mean he will never come against us. Resisting the devil doesn't rid us of the problem. But standing in the faith of God's promises while we are waiting for God to do something keeps us from acting like the devil ourselves.
Don't get rattled about the devil. If he causes problems for you today, just say, "Forget it, devil! I am not staying hurt, bitter, wounded, or angry. My trust is in God. I am a Christian-watch me be happy."

This mornings devotional was a reassurance to me, that I have been doing the right thing when the devil comes at me. I don't just resist him...I read the Word of God which always gives me strength and peace. So that is my way of 'standing in the faith of God's promises while I'm waiting for Him to do something'. Thank you God for teaching me what to do, how to react, and how to truly let your Word be the light in my path.
