“Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:11)
The book of Ephesians is about God’s plan for the church, but it also reminds us that the devil has plans, too. Satan means ‘adversary’, and so he is. You have to factor him into the equation.
Sometimes things go wrong in your life because of the devil. When you start to get into a Bible reading routine, don’t be surprised when the devil throws a couple emergencies in to try and break up your good habits.
When you start working on your character, don’t be surprised when the devil takes and throws a couple extra temptations your way. Sometimes old habits die hard because Satan is trying to resurrect them.
From stressors to discouragement to prosperity, the serpent has a way of looking for ways to slither right into your life and stop progress.
Armor up.
Matthew 4:4 #Biblebites
