Look on my affliction and my pain,
And forgive all my sins.
Consider my enemies, for they are many;
And they hate me with cruel hatred.
Psalm 25:18-19 (NKJV)
Thought for Today: The Battle of Lake Erie during the War of 1812 was nearly lost due to the late arrival of one ship. Master Commandant Oliver Hazard Perry was able to turn the battle around once the second ship arrived. Upon winning the battle, he sent word ashore to General William Henry Harrison reporting, "We have met the enemy and they are ours."
We face many enemies on this journey of life. Sometimes, these enemies are external. The more devastating are the internal ones: doubt, fear, addiction and pain. Yet, we have assurance that through Jesus all of our enemies can be ours, we can have the victory. What enemies do you face today? Don't wait until it is almost too late for help to arrive, for He is only one prayer away.
