Strength To Get Through

From: Greg Laurie Ministries

Revelation 12:12 "...The devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."

During the Korean War, Marines in the Baker Company found themselves cut off while enemy forces advanced. For several hours, no word was heard from them. Finally a faint signal came through. Straining to hear each word, the radio operator asked,"'Do you read me?'" 

"This is Baker Company," came the reply. 

"What is your situation?"

"The enemy is to the east of us. The enemy is to the west of us. The enemy is to the south of us and to the north of us..." The soldier then paused briefly and continued, "And we are not going to let them escape this time!"

That is the attitude we should have when the devil seems to be hitting us from every side. "No weapon formed against you shall prevail." (Isaiah 54:17) The Bible tells us, "The devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time." But the devil does not want you to know that he is doomed. 

Problems, struggles, pain, temptations...exist for all of us! But listen: God will give us the strength to get through.
