November 17, 2008

I'm sorry I haven't kept up this blog like I should have. We have such great times in Chapel each morning and I usually hit the ground running after chapel and am not able to take the time to blog about our morning. I promise that I will try to do better :)

This morning Mr. Randy shared with us from Ephesians 6 about the armor of God. Sometimes we forget that every day a battle is going on around us. We also forget that we are not fighting against people. Verse 12 tells us that we are fighting against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world and against the mighty powers of darkness who rule this world and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realm. Mr. Randy asked the students how many of them thought about the devil and the battle on a daily basis and most did not raise their hands. He emphasized to us that the battle is real and that we cannot fight it on our own. We have to have God's help and we have to put on our armor daily. Ephesians 6:13-18 tells all about our spiritual armor...we need the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit (which is the word of God).

So many times we find ourselves in unbearable situations and our very last resort is to run to God and allow Him to fight our battle for us. He's always there. He always cares. And...He always wins!
