It’s Only a Roar
“It is I who has drawn for all time the boundaries of the sea. The waves may crash and roar against the sand, but the waters do not cross the lines I have drawn.”
Jeremiah 5:22, VOICE
Like the roar of waves crashing on the sand, you may have some negative thoughts roaring in your mind today, telling you, “You’ll never get well. You’ll never meet the right person. You’ll never be free of the addiction.” The Scripture says, “The enemy goes about as a roaring lion.” He loves to roar, to make loud threats and accusations, trying to get you to live in fear and worry, thinking that what you’re up against is too big, too strong. Don’t let the roar fool you. When God breathed life into you, like that sand, He put an eternal decree in you. He said when the enemy comes against you one way, He will defeat them and cause them to flee seven different ways.
When the enemy roars at you, start roaring back. The Scripture says, “Give no place to the enemy.” Don’t let him fill your mind with thoughts of defeat, lack, and insecurity. Roar back. Declare favor, declare strength, declare health, declare victory. When you declare God’s promises, as the waves have to recede from the sand, so must the enemy.
Prayer For Today
“Father, thank You that Your words give life to my faith, and I can use my words to withstand the storms and waves that pound against me. Thank You that there is nothing more powerful than Your Word in my heart. I will say what You say about me and what You promise in Your Word. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.”
