Triumph
Jesus made provision for our victory (Colossians 2:15): "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it".
Mom was my example.
Praise Him, I won a battle yesterday in Novotel Toronto Center, triumphing over temptation of the flesh when I was alone.

Devotion today, from Dad's house in Ottawa
Tozer's writing is ever so powerful:
Whitewashed World
The twilight in which many (or should we say most?) believers walk today is not caused by any vagueness on the part of the Bible. Nothing could be clearer than the pronouncements of the Scriptures on the Christian's relation to the world. The confusion that gathers around this matter results from the unwillingness of professing Christians to take the Word of the Lord seriously. Christianity is so entangled with the world that millions never guess how radically they have missed the New Testament pattern. Compromise is everywhere. The world is whitewashed just enough to pass inspection by blind men posing as believers, and those same believers are everlastingly seeking to gain acceptance with the world. By mutual concessions men who call themselves Christians manage to get on with men who have for the things of God nothing but quiet contempt.
