In believing in Jesus, we also take on the belief that there is a very true enemy who Jesus says is the father of lies in John 8:44. There is no truth in him.
Satan has one aim in life, and that is to see us to destruction. He does this by using a bunch of lies and deception to deceive us and rob us of our peace. He puts in our hearts fear and confusion in our minds. This only leads to us being broken, bound up and confused.
But, there is good news! Jesus came to destroy all these works. "The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil's work" (1 John 3:8)
"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favour" (Luke 4:18-19)
Jesus came to set us free and to heal us from sickness and disease. He came to save us from the devil's power and took us back to our father.
Thankful for: Warmth
I was cold last night, and I hadn't been in a while, but thankfully I am able to just put on more clothing, blankets or socks. I'm thankful for the warmth that I am able to create for myself. I know that there are many people who do not have the luxury of sleeping with even one blanket for themselves. There is so much that I have that I know others don't and sometimes I forget when it's most important.
