Strength for the Battle!
Do you feel like you are in the middle of a BATTLE?
Ephesians 6:12 says our struggle (or battle) is not against flesh and blood, but against rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
WOW! That sounds like a SCARY Friday night movie! So yes, the struggle is real! That is what we wake up to every day!
If you are feeling overwhelmed, it's totally understandable! However, KNOW today, that you can stand FIRM in God's word..because he says in verse 13 that when we put on that FULL ARMOR OF GOD we will be able to stand on that day when evil comes and we CAN stand against the evil schemes of Satan!
God will NEVER leave you in the battle alone, he EQUIPS us, he gives us DESIGNER ARMORS to wear and he DEFENDS us!!
Psalm 18:2 The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
