Devotions: Satan is Afraid

The enemy superior’s position was based on a lie.

Wainwright’s side had won but he was ignorant of the truth.
He should have been free but he didn’t know it.
He behaved like a POW.
He did not know his side had won so he continued to submit to the demand of his captor even though his captor no longer had power over him.

In the same way we continue to submit to Satan when we do not have to.
Satan is afraid that every believer will discover this truth.
1 John 4:4 “Greater is he that is in you; than he that is in the world.”

Satan has enslaved God's people by hiding the truth.

Devotions: The Commandant's Deception

In time General Mac Arthur led his troops to victory and soldiers—war prisoners were released.
As a prisoner of war, hidden away in Mongolia, General Wainwright was unaware of his country's position.

The enemy superior kept the truth of the war’s end from the General but he knew that they would soon change places.

He knew he would become the captive and Wainwright the captor.

The enemy commandant with military force at his command would be nervous and fearful of the weak, emaciated, dysentery plagued General.

The reason?
The enemy superior’s position was based on a lie.

Jesus friends at the cross saw him die.
Some were rulers too but they did not dare show how they felt.
One of them, Joseph of Arimathea, went to Pilate and asked that Jesus’ body be given to him for burial.
Nicodemus helped him.
Together they wrapped the body in spices and clean linen and laid it in a new tomb that Joseph had cut in the rock.
A heavy rock was rolled across the entrance and they left the garden.

Devotions: What the Brave Captain Did

“Quick, lad!” he shouted, “Down the rope!”
The boy didn’t need to be told twice, in a moment he was over the side of the ship into the last available space in the lifeboat.

“Come on,” shouted the men to the captain, not wanting to leave him behind.

But the captain knew one extra person in the boat would capsize it and they all would drown.
“Push off!” he shouted above the storm.

The sailors and the dirty young boy knew that the captain died so that the boy would be safe.
The boy always remembered what the brave captain did.
Jesus suffered and died for us too
so that our lives could have God’s power.
