Sometimes the devil doesn't tempt us with evil; sometimes he allures us with good, distracts us with obligations, confuses us with compromise, or hinders us with business to keep us from that which is best- service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Remember, the devil always offers his best, before Christ will offer His will for your life.

He is the Creator of all things, the Word of the Lord made flesh,
He is the first and the last, the alpha and the omega,
The bright and morning star that shines as a light in the darkness.
Unmovable, unchangeable, He always was, always is, and always will be.

He was despised and rejected so that we could be accepted.
He was acquainted with grief to offer us peace.
He tasted God's wrath to allow sinners to become saints.
He's the author of Salvation, the Lamb of God, and the promised Messiah.

The King of kings, and the Lord of lords are His titles.
The great "I AM" is His name, the Almighty God, Emmanuel,
The good shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep,
And the coming King who will rule in righteousness.

He is all this and so much more, but most important of all-
He is my Savior!
