Jesus is Enough

Isaiah 46-49; 1 Peter 5

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.”

1 Peter 5:10, 11

Our spiritual warfare in resisting the attacks and schemes of the devil is supported by the ever-present grace and powerful presence of the Lord. We do not stand in the battle alone. Our experience now, and our eternal inheritance are to share in the glory of Christ. Christ’s glorious presence is with us in suffering, and suffering brings Christ’s glory into focus. It is Jesus who restores us when we are beaten and bruised in battle. It is Jesus who makes us strong, firm, and steadfast, even when we feel weak, unsure, and fearful. In the battle, it is through surrendering to Jesus that we find new resources to resist the enemy and stand firm in the promises of God.

‘Where is Jesus in our current struggles?

Are we looking to him for all we need?

“Lord Jesus, I pray for your deliverance, peace, and joy, even in the battle, for your glory.”
