One of the songs of the civil rights movement was, /We shall overcome/, in the book of Revelations we read of about the devil who accuses our brothers continually[12 v10].As long as we are on earth following Jesus, the devil will continually try to overcome us,he will use every means at his disposal,just as long as he can bring the saints down.He does not rest on the sabbath, or take a holiday, or go of sick, no,day after day he will attack us. So it is, we must be on our gaurd continually,there is no respite, from his enmity, how he must have rejoiced at Davids folly,and Solomons foolhardiness,at Peters cowardice,and at us when we do that which we shouldnt. But let us not despair,God will forgive and restore,his erring children, I am sure the devil hates the fact that God is merciful and forgiving,for it means no matter how far the child of God falls,and brought down.No matter how much the devil,may tempt the saints,there is always a place of mercy,and forgiveness,when mercy is sought and repentance is manifested by a child of God.There is always mercy for repenting prodigals,from the God who delights in mercy ,consider the words of Micah 7 v18,/ Who is a God like unto Thee,that pardoneth iniquity,and passeth by the trannsgression of the remnant of His heritage,He retaineth not His anger for ever,BECAUSE HE DELIGHTETH IN MERCY/.
A prayer..../ Dear God we shudder when we consider our sinful failures,how we yielded to Satans temptations,but we praise You, that You are a forgiving God, one who delights in mercy,we thank You in Jesus name Amen /
