A Practice

When you face a temptation to act or speak selfishly in the next few days, remind yourself that Jesus has come, and that the serpent’s head has been crushed. And you too can crush the serpent’s head under your feet! (Seriously, check out Romans 16:20)

A Prayer

Faithful God,

We praise you for not forgetting your first good news promise. Thank you for sending Jesus to do what no other human could do: crush the head of the serpent and set us free from the devil’s tyranny. In temptation today, help me to remember that Christ has come, and victory has been won.

Amen
