Welcome to the herd!

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25

Ready for Battle

Good reminder in the Bible Commentary this morning.

Romans 8:31 If God is for us, who can be against us?
Obviously, Satan and his demonic hosts are against believers, but they cannot ultimately prevail and triumph over believers. God is the self-existent One and the sovereign Creator and, since He is for believers, no one can oppose believers successfully.

That wasn’t what I expected them to say.  We get lulled into thinking that if we are for God no one can come against us.  But the truth is if we stand for God we stand against Satan.  Believers should not expect following hard after Christ to be easy.  The more we follow after Christ and the more we encourage others to do the same the more we attract attention from the enemy.  A solider sitting in a foxhole is no danger to the other side, but a solider armed with the Word of God and the Love of Christ dedicated to doing whatever His commanding officer asks of him…that’s another story.

Therefore put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes and remember no one serving as a soldier gets involved in civilian affairs—he wants to please his commanding officer.  (Eph 6:11, 2 Tim 2:4)

Have a great day little Zebras, armed and ready for battle.

Love,

Jill
