LIVING THE SOLUTION WITH DAILY INSPIRATION
Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. (Ephesians 6:13-17 — The Message)
Why oh why do we go through our daily lives thinking we can make it without spending time in prayer and with God? Learning, understanding and discovering God’s truth is essential, for our power over the enemy is not by might, a confrontation resulting in a power struggle. It is by knowing, embracing and speaking the truth--the truth about God and us. That is why Paul says, “Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than words.” They are our weapons. Our enemy is the father of lies. His weapon against us is lies. He lies to us about God, ourselves and others. But he cannot stand up against the truth and we find the truth about ourselves from God, through conversation with Him and in His Word. We are to use the truths we find against the enemy. The reason Paul says, “God's Word is an indispensable weapon”, is it is full of God’s truth about Him, you, others and life. It is the truth of God and His Word that Jesus used every time He faced off with the enemy.
So don’t forgo time with God. Read His Word, speak to Him and listen to Him. You cannot make it through this life without Him.
Live intentionally, purposely, free and with passion,
