Create in Me a Clean Heart: The 40-Day Challenge (Psalms)Sample

Shouts of Joy and Victory Resound in the Tents of the Righteous

Psalm 118:5-18

Can you remember that feeling when you realized that because of what Jesus has done for us, we look righteous in God’s eyes? Do you know the joy of the Lord’s victory? Do you experience it every day?

Despite David being known as one who was after God’s heart, he still sinned - and he tried to cover it up. Although God punished David with the death of his son, He did not leave him, and this is the promise for all of His people. God does not forsake His people but He does judge them, and justly so.

In life, we have things that are constantly demanding our attention, like our phone, the TV, and social media. We who are saved will see that the devil is constantly around us too, demanding our attention, demanding that we forget about the victory that our Lord has. Will we use scripture, just like Jesus did, to make the devil flee from us? Or do we welcome him, feed him, give him something to drink and make him feel so comfortable that he will want to keep coming back to us?

The Lord does have the ultimate victory. Let us be joyful today, and be motivated to be obedient to Him and not to fall for the deceptions of the evil one.
