Daily Devotion For March 26

Glued Together

I enjoy reading biographies or stories of famous people. The one time when I was browsing through our bookshelf, I came across a book entitled 'Think Big' by a guy called Ben Carson. The title grabbed my attention, so I picked it up and began to read it.

It was a biography of a black neurosurgeon who became famous at a young age. He was the first surgeon to successfully separate a pair of Siamese twins that were attached at the head.

His story fascinated me because I saw how he rose up and succeeded despite much hardship and poverty. We later found a video that had been made about his story and it was really awesome to watch.

I thought it was interesting that in the natural the obvious thing to do with Siamese twins is to separate them. If they are not able to do this, their lives become restricted and far from normal.

However in the spiritual realm it is completely opposite. The Lord showed me a vision once of two people glued back to back. They were both clothed in armor on their chests, and each of them carried swords. They were fighting against the enemy, and they were overcoming the battle.

The Lord said to me that when I am in battle against the enemy He has my back covered. He is glued to me like those Siamese twins were glued together. But this time it is a good thing to be connected.

I love this Scripture from Deuteronomy 20:4 which describes what I am sharing so well. It says,

For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.

You do not have to fight the battle alone, because the Lord is there fighting with you. And with Him as your partner in battle, you will be guaranteed to succeed.

You see it is no longer just you fighting. With Him at your back you can win the battle in double quick time. And you don't have to be afraid of the enemy sneaking up on you unexpectedly from behind.

If you are in a war with the enemy right now and you feel a little overwhelmed, know that Jesus is right there with you. He is covering you and fighting with you against the enemy. And even if the battle seems intense for a while, you can rest assured that you will win.

Jesus overcame Satan on Calvary once and for all. When He died Satan could no longer win the battle against Him. He had to bow in defeat.

You have that same victory available to you. As you face the enemy, take the Lord with you. Let Him go with you to fight against the enemy. When you do this you will be assured that the victory is yours.

Today I want to tell you that the victory is yours. You have the Lord there to cover you and to fight for you against the enemy. He will always be with you, glued to you like a Siamese twin.

*****

Thank you Lord that you fight with us and help us to overcome the enemy. Thank you that you never leave us in the dust, and we can rest assured that you will help us to win.

*****

Today may you take the Lord with you into any battles against the enemy. Then you will see the victory that you desire, and Satan will flee from you in terror.
