I AM A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF GOD
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. – Ephesians 6:10-11
The Enemy’s got his sights on you, you know? He doesn’t want you traveling along this path—growing your spiritual stamina and developing your spiritual muscles. He doesn’t want you fighting for your marriage; believing God for your kids; having faith for your finances; being content with your current season of life. He’s bound to be nesting at some point along your journey and will go to great lengths to intimidate you from your purpose and your passion to pursue the things of God. He’ll circle you, to figure out what might be the best strategy to dissuade you. Then at a vulnerable moment, he’ll swoop down fast and with fury and, I promise, he will be too close for comfort.
Don’t you let him scare you away with all of his little ridiculously sneaky attempts to be crafty. Let any intimidation you feel take a turn into a holy courage and boldness that causes you to take up arms. Be smart, and don’t run around with nothing to protect yourself. Grab you some spiritual armor and be conspicuous about using it. He might still circle overhead but he’ll rethink messin’ with you when you aren’t such an easy target.
Not just today but everyday.
Because you – you are armed and dangerous.
