“No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation, he will also provide the way of escape that you may be able to endure it.”

(1 Corinthians 10:13 ESV)

“Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.”

(Proverbs 19:21 ESV)

“The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”

(Proverbs 16:9 ESV)

A friend sent me a video yesterday. I really needed to hear it at that moment. There’s a picture at the Louvre named Checkmate. It shows God and the devil playing chess. The devil was smiling, and God had his head in his hand. A chess champion studied the picture. He discovered that God had one more move. It showed God would win. He said the King has one more move! God always one ups the devil.

God will fight for us. God will take on the devil face to face. He will battle the enemy for us.

Do you believe that God will fight the devil for us? Do you believe God will step in and take up our fight? Do you want to fight on your own? The devil has a lot of tricks. He isn’t afraid to use them either. But we have weapons, too. We have the blood of Jesus. The blood is a powerful weapon. 

I plead the blood over my home and everything in it. I also plead the blood over me and my car every time I have to go somewhere. Use the blood, but always remember, the King has one more move.

Have a great day, everyone.
