JOSHUA 1:7-9; 2 CORINTHIANS 10:13; EPHESIANS 6:10-13
I should probably read these verses every day of my life. By the way Savanah, it doesn’t do any good if you don’t actually read all the verses! Lol :) My whole life I’ve been doing what I thought was right and some of those things were right and not looked upon by God as evil I’m sure. However, the fact is, I’ve only done what I thought was right and not paid much attention to what God really wanted. I see today that in order for me to be obedient to what God wants, I have to read and study his word every day, pray every day, turn from sin every, and surround myself with people doing the same ever day so He will hear my prayers and speak to me. You can’t take my word for it, or your mothers, or your friends all the time because people are different. God has different ideas for some than others and everyone is their own person. You have to be individually responsible for what God tells you to do and for what you learn from God’s word. Does that make sense? And if you don’t do or follow the Bible’s instruction to the T, simply put, you’re being disobedient. Just like me, on day you will have some consequences for that. I am a living testimony that in doing these things above you will be putting on the full armor of God and be able to effectively fight off Satan’s temptations with success. But if you do like I have done for 42 years and only wear the helmet and no breastplate you leave yourself vulnerable to Satan’s attack and you will eventually lose the fight!
Prayer
Lord God, help me to maintain strength and courage to stand for you in the face of my temptations.
Thoughts:
Every day when you wake up make it a priority in your life to do these four things: read, pray, turn from sin, and surround yourself with people doing the same. By doing these things you will be ready to do battle with Satan and all his angels, whom I promise are coming to devour and kill you. Be ready.
