Fighting our Battle!!

Ephesians 6:10-12

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For 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.

Today’s devotion was especially apt for me! Sometimes I really feel beaten and defeated that I become so focused on the troubles instead of focusing on God. Satan uses doubt (just like he planted a seed of doubt in Eve’s mind); daily distractions like the TV, hp, computer and Internets, games, shopping, and whatsoever to change our focus from the Word to things with no eternal value; things to disable us from the Lord’s service like making us feel unappreciated and discouraged; and even to destroy us physically like attacking our bodies, planting sickness, addictions, stress, and even unhappiness with our own bodies to make us focus on our bodies, rather than spiritual things.

Whatever I’ve mentioned above, I can readily identify with… coz I’m weak… I fall into every area of weakness possible! Sigh…even today, when I woke up with my right eye the size of a ping pong ball, I felt weak and useless, and couldn’t bring myself to go out and meet the rest of the world. Things like discouragement and all, I feel it too!

The thing is, Satan wants to make us be useless in our daily battles, looking for ways to destroy us. But don’t let him! Let’s keep our spiritual eyes open so that we can help each other keep watch for the enemy’s skillful, devious attacks. Most importantly, place your dependence on God’s Spirit! =)

Ohana, let’s jia you k! Keeping all of you in prayer! =)

Pls pray for me too? I don’t like ping pongs… especially when it’s on my eye! Haa… thanks! =)
