Ephesians 6:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 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.
The battle we face is not a physical one. Instead, it is a
spiritual battle with powers that we do not easily see and which are very
powerful. We shouldn't dismiss this as an imaginary battle or as an irrelevant
struggle. Just as clearly as Satan was crouching at Cain's door, desiring to
have him, so he crouches at our door (Genesis 4:7). He will use his forces of
evil to do all he can to defeat, destroy, or corrupt us. We must take this war
seriously and recognize the spiritual power of our foe.
Thought for today:
Do I recognize when my spiritual integrity is being compromised?
