Ephesians 6:12
” For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
A stark reminder:
- Evil is real
- The battle is personal.
The good news is that the next verse says ‘STAND’ and tells you how to do it… But it starts with knowing this is a BATTLEGROUND, not a playground.
Some folks know that better than others.
The REALLY good news is that “The battle belongs to the Lord.” But we have to “Armor Up,” because the Evil one has barbs and snares…. tricks to ensnare us, and lies to convince us that we are in some other sort of battle, and be caught unawares.
Why worry about our flesh and blood… it is the spiritual part of us that is eternal.
Working on being vigilant.
