Have a Good Day
The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. I John 3:8
A few years ago I wrote down this phrase ‘Today is a good day to have a good day’. You see I need to remind myself of this because God’s Word says in 1 Peter 5:8 ‘Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.’ Satan seeks to find a loop hole and drag us down. Satan did this to our Savior as well. Satan’s last temptation of Jesus was to challenge him to use his powers to flick out those Roman nails and come down off the cross. In an attempt to thwart the plan of God through His Son whose death will bring forth resurrection to all who had come under the influence of sin. And here was Jesus, totally sinless, about to die! Satan, death and hell were about to be defeated.
Glory be to God Satan failed! Jesus overcame death and from that moment onwards anyone who would choose Jesus as their Savior, and come under the covering authority of the Son of God, would also escape the judgment of death. That makes today a good day to have a good day.
As the old hymn says:
“Man of Sorrows!” what a name
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Blessed Good Friday to you all!
Prayer for today: Dear Father God, Saying thank you seems a totally inadequate response to such incredible grace. We are so very, very grateful that on this special day we can remember with a heart filled with joyful thanksgiving the most important act there will ever be in the whole history of the world and the universe. The day your Son went to the cross and died for our sins. I am forever grateful for this day and I thank you for sending Him. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
