“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).
It probably would seem easier if the “wrestling” we were doing was with flesh and blood. However, we battle an army of evil that is invisible. As I thought about our verse, it was like I saw various ranks of wickedness. It’s like the battle escalates the more we try to live right. Romans 7:21 states “I find then a law, when I would do good, evil is present with me.” Often times when the battle becomes fierce, some Christians retreat. We will learn in other studies what we can do to fight back. Tomorrow we will share a little concerning this. Don’t give up!
One of my many favorite verses is found in Romans 8:31b….”If God be for us who can be against us?” In Exodus 14:14a we find these words, “The Lord shall fight for you…”
Isn’t it wonderful to know we don’t have to do battle alone?
