Reading: Numbers 30-31 and 1 Corinthians 16
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 16:13-14, Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.
Thoughts: Spiritual warfare is all around us every day. It is easy to be blinded and dismiss it at times when we go about our daily lives. One such battle is around me now. A rally point has been set lines, have been drawn on both sides. Just as in the wilderness the evil one would come and speak using manipulated scripture and Jesus would use proper scripture to rebuke. After these go rounds Luke says that the devil left until an opportune time. Our war is in our words and our harts and words need to be filled with God’s word so that the Holy Spirit can call them to mind in the mist of that battle. But with in this war we also need to do it all in Love because God is love and that is what he calls us to.
Prayer: Father, I thank you for your love and your spirit. I thank you for the provisions and blessings. Lord I ask that you help us wage this war in your love and with your weapons. Nothing forged by the evil one can prevail against your armor. Lord we put on your full armor and take up your shield and sword to combat that schemes of the evil one. Give us the wisdom and guidance to use them to your advantage.
