Who's figthing your battles?

Ephesians 6:10-14
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

Did you ever have one of those weeks where you felt like everything on Earth was moving against you? One of those days where it seemed regardless what direction you were going, you were in a headwind?

Our lives are not easy. It is so easy to get sucked into the mindset that this world is determined to pile more on until we crumble under the pressure of our obligations, responsibilities, or sometimes our desires and addictions. The weight of these influences can be so much of a burden. And this weight can cause us to lose sight of who we are in Christ.

1 John 4:4
4Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

We must never lose sight of what we have been given through our inheritance in Christ. God has drawn us back from the pit and reconciled our hearts to him. He has equipped us with everything we need to walk victoriously through life with no more obligation to sin. We are free...

John 8:36
36So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

We have to cling to this reality when life kicks us. We have to cherish what was done on the cross to allow us access to the God that loves us beyond measure. And regardless of what we feel, we must stand in the truth of his promise when we realize we have allowed worldly influences back into our lives. And we must share the love of Jesus with those we meet who are still chained to the world. As God draws their hearts back to him, we must testify of his love and redemptive power in our own lives.

Its good to know we do not fight our own fights any longer. He is our compassionate warrior.
