"
Plans succeed through good counsel; don't
go to war without wise advice."
Proverbs 20:18 (NLT)
Today's Focus: Spiritual Life
Have you ever heard the phrase, "We are soldiers in the army of the Lord"? Well, a good soldier never goes into battle unprepared. You must have a plan of attack especially when it comes to spiritual warfare. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 6:12, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." So how do we succeed in this spiritual warfare? We have to put on our spiritual armor (Eph. 6:13-17). This battle is won when we intentionally pray our armor on daily. The best defense is a good offense and the only offensive weapon we have in our armor is the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. When you intentionally read and study the Word and get it down in your heart, it becomes a weapon for use against the enemy's attack.
Today's Thought: Do not run from the enemy. Use the Word and put the enemy to flight!
Today's Prayer:
"Lord, I pray your armor on today so I can stand against the attacks of the enemy."
