Devotion:
Read Ephesians 6:10-18.
Paul uses the image of the armor of a Roman soldier to talk about God’s armor offered to us. Every battle, ultimately, is a spiritual battle. Every conflict is a contest with Satan and his forces. Satan is not passive or fair. He is active, deceptive, and will tempt with lies. He has designs and strategies. So, we need a strategy as well. 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 puts it this way, “though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”
We will be victorious over Satan’s tactics if we put on our spiritual armor, use our spiritual weapons and keep God in the center of our life.
Personal Worship Option:
Are you trying to fight a spiritual battle with physical weapons? Spend some time praying and reading the Bible to spiritually strengthen yourself for the battle. Memorize Scripture to remind yourself of the truth.
