"Behold I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy." - Luke 10:19
Astonishing the mercy, and wonderful the privilege manifested to the
followers of the Lamb! Poor, and weak, and helpless, as they are in
themselves, yet how strong in the grace which is in Christ Jesus! My
soul, never lose sight of these blessed things. In Jesus thou art not
only a conqueror, but more than conqueror. As the armies in heaven
overcame by the blood of the Lamb, so here below, it is all in him, and
by him, the victory is obtained. God will bruise-Satan under our feet
shortly; but it is God that must bruise him, and it is he that must put
him under our feet. Oh for grace to see where our strength is, and as
cheerfully to ascribe all to him; that He, in whom we are made to tread
on serpents and scorpions, may have the glory due to his name, that He
who gives the strength may have the praise.
