Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name – Psalm 91:14

The greatest commandment is to love God. Now, loving God is not about going to church, raising our hands up in worship, or spending hours on end in prayer, though all these things are good. Jesus says that those who love Him keep His commandments. To keep his commandments means we listen intently to what God tells us with the intention of acting on it. Why listen to God and do what He says? We should because our life is better off for it. Only God has our best intentions at heart. In fact, his intentions for us are better than our intentions for ourselves. This is because He loves us more than we love ourselves. Furthermore, only God knows the best path for us to take. When you consider all the benefits of listening to God, it becomes clear that love for God translates into love for ourselves

The more I love God, the more I love myself

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot – Psalm 91:13

The bible talks of the devil walking around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. The bible also likens the devil to a serpent. So, when the bible talks about treading upon lions and serpents, it has nothing to do showing how brave we with animals around us. Rather, it is speaking about us having dominion over the enemy just as Jesus had victory over the enemy on the cross – a victory that was spoken about in Genesis 3:15 when God declared that Jesus would crush the head of the serpent. How wonderful to know that we have victory over the enemy. How wonderful it is to know we do not have to be afraid of the devil. How wonderful it is to know we have power over him. The devil is not as powerful as you think. And even though he may derive power through lies and deception, his power is little compared to the power that is working in us, which is the power of the Spirit of God. With God working in and through you, you don’t have to be concerned about the devil.

I have the power in Christ to defeat the enemy of my soul
