Even though my day-to-day experience is as a human being, I must be conscious that my experiences are not like other human beings, mine are spiritual. Every day I am contending in spiritual warfare that is normal christian life but I have been given powerful weapons to defeat my adversaries—they are spiritual. Our enemies consider my weapons to be weak, futile and foolish, but they are wrong—just ask Goliath! They may look natural, but they are spiritual. Though the battle may be intense at times, I am admonished not to be weary in the well-doing, the victory is assured—if I don’t quit. I must realize that the battle is not mine, but the Lord’s! My mouth and my hands are instruments of worship and warfare! And I am committed to use them in His name! Amen!
