But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 1 Thessalonians 5:8
As a child of God,
it’s important to be on guard at all times for deception and attack from the
enemy. The forces of evil are constantly working in an attempt to destroy the
works of the Lord in your life and Christianity as a whole.
Just like your
morning ritual of getting ready for the day, you should have a morning ritual
of bible study, reading and prayer time. It can take as little as 15 minutes of
your day, but don’t you think its worth it to give a portion of your time to
the One who saved your life for all eternity? Spiritual preparation for the day
is essential, as it awakens your moral compass and provides wisdom and
protection for the day’s battles…..and the battles will come no matter how hard
you try to take cover.
The encouraging
thing in all of this, you are blessed to have God’s Holy Spirit living inside
of you, giving you the edge over satan’s enormous storehouse of weapons. Only
by the power of God can you conquer the addictions, sinful habits, and
destructive thoughts that work against you continually.
In the world you
will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world. John 16:33
Are you equipped for
today’s battle’s? Spend time with the Lord this morning to prepare you for what
lies ahead. God has already been there and is ready to equip you with the right
mindset so you’ll be able to overcome the enemies plans. God bless!
