When the enemy comes in like a flood then you need to lift up a standard against him. But that isn’t simple to do – especially now when the whole world is clamoring for your attention. Every morning I give you a blank slate for today – a fresh start – new mercies every morning. But how you use your time each day is up to you. How much will you fight the good fight of faith? Will you resist the temptations that are always coming at you? Will you stand strong and stay close to Me? I will give you the strength for the battle. I have already given you everything that you need to defeat the forces that come against you every day – The helmet of salvation, the sword of the Spirit – and the gospel of peace. As I told My disciples: “These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33) You can always have peace in Me and in My presence, knowing that I have overcome the world!
New Mercies in the Morning
