“For He had been saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” And He was asking him, “What is your name?” And he said to Him, “My name is Legion; for we are many” (Mark 5:8-9)
There are many who fell with Lucifer. With pride, they set up against the Creator of all. God is love and love allowed them to exist apart from Him. Will love allow the same with those in this age who reject His offer of grace? Beyond this question is the one each of us must ask of ourselves: Will I continue in pride, or submit to the One who created me? The Lord is Lord of all.
Lord, in such simple terms I come to grips with the fact that I am created and did not, and cannot, make myself. Help me, dear Lord, to willingly submit to You, the One who created and creates all things. Guide me away from pride so that I may recognize that all things are in Your hands. Lead me now and always that I may live Your purpose and not be one of the legion that pretend they do not have to obey You.
Lord Jesus, I see that You came into the middle of what terrified others and did so with complete calm. The winds and the sea obey Your word. The demons are afraid of You. Why are so many in this world so dismissive of the humble truth that we are created and that all things have their being through You? I may never know the answer to that question, but I can know that You are my Lord and Savior. Be the One who leads me always. Amen.
