The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!” And he said to them, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”
In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.”
Luke 10:17-21
Jesus sees Satan fall and the Gospel advanced, so he rejoices. We rejoice when we see the same in our lives!
Tonight, God told me to go somewhere that I didn’t want to go and I didn’t know why. A few minutes later, I overheard someone sharing about Jesus with a student and realized why I was there.
What a blessing it is to be a part of God’s work!
Father, continue to work in our hearts, all of us. Keep your promises, Lord, that if someone asks they shall receive, that if someone seeks they will find! God, we submit to you and recognize that it is your power that saves, your power that redeems. God, that people would come to know Jesus Christ, their savior!
