WOW!! What a crazy week so far. I find that whenever you stand your ground and fight with godly weapons, the fight intensifies. This week has had its share of attacks, and I struggle with reverting back to the weapons of this world. When this happens I am reminded that I am not fighting alone. As I look to my left and right, there are my brothers and sisters in Christ fighting alongside of me, and my flesh gives way to the Spirit. I quickly lay down my worldly weapons and pick up the armor of God.
I wonder how your week is going? How are you fighting today? I want to encourage you to pray through the armor daily (Eph.6:10-20), meditate on it, soak in it, and stand firm on it. If you find yourself fighting with the wrong weapon, ask for forgiveness, repent, take up divine weapons and fight. Remember that you, your wife, your kids, and your calling are worth fighting for. I leave you with this verse to encourage you this week:
John 16:33 (New International Version):
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.
Feel free to email me and let me know how your fight is going.
In Christ,
Davy Parsons
