Taking Our Stand

“ Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.”
—Ephesians 6:10

Are we as conscious of Satan’s attempts to destroy us as we should be? Probably not. Do we find ourselves taking a stand against the evil that Satan perpetrates against us? The enemy does indeed want to divert us from showing God’s love to those around us.

That’s because God’s love is one of His irresistible qualities that draws people to have faith in Him. Along with His mercy and grace, God’s love is extremely powerful.

So, our enemy always tries to defeat our efforts to display God’s love to a very needy world. That’s why the Apostle Paul urged us, in Ephesians 6:10-11, to:

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.

Let’s begin this new day by putting on the armor the Holy Spirit has provided. Then, let’s go out into the world today taking our stand, determined to be strong and unfailing beacons of God’s love.
