Welcome to Day 10 of Chase THE Light Project: I am Strong
Today’s verse comes from Ephesians 6:10. “And that about wraps it
up. God is strong, and he wants you strong. So take everything the Master has
set out for you, well-made weapons of the best materials. And put them to use
so you will be able to stand up to everything the Devil throws your way.” (MSG)
Ephesians 6 talks about The Armor of God
and we certainly need to suit up to be strong against our enemy. It is a daily struggle because he is
relentless.
I like it being comfy and cozy – so
stepping out of the boat and keeping my eyes on Him takes His strength and bravery.
When we step out of the boat for God
– it’s like we automatically have a target on our backs for the enemy.
But at the same time…no matter if the enemy is locked on us, God has said, I
will be with you wherever you go.
Kingdom work can be hard at times so
it is important to trust, have faith and be brave. The enemy will come and he
will use the same tactics he used on Jesus. He uses the SAME tactics because he
has no other ways.
We need to suit up and fight back
with the Word of God. We need to stand firm. Abandon the worry...the
fear....and the lies and believe, trust and abide in the one who goes before
us…with us…and behind us.
Understand though, the enemy is
clever…so we need to recognize evil. We need to know without question who
is trying to speak to us.
“And
no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light”
~2 Corinthians 11:14
~2 Corinthians 11:14
That is a scary verse to me because
I am chasing Him hard. Chasing The Light. So I need to be prepared…to know Him
and Him alone…to recognize the enemy and his disguises.
So today, whatever strength looks
like for you…let it be with Him. The One who is good and loving. Let’s dig into
His truths, suit up for battle, fight back with the Word of God, and remember
that He goes before us, with us, and behind us helping us to shine our brave
light alongside His.
