Bible Verse of The Day – 11-18-20

Isaiah 54:17 (NKJV) 17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.

It’s no secret that the devil is our #1 enemy.

He is bent on destroying each and every one of us, if he can possibly do so.

1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Take note of what that scripture said, though. There are clues as to how to prevent the devil from destroying (devouring) us.

Be sober; well-balanced, self-controlled, self-disciplined.

Our actions and our words need to be calculated and chosen carefully, with great consideration, filtered through and weighed by the Holy Spirit, not based on emotions or rash, impulsive thoughts.

Be vigilant; watchful, discerning, cautious, alert, observant, attentive, prepared.

We cannot become complacent or dull. We absolutely need to stay alert at all times against the wiles (devious schemes and tricks) of the enemy.

This is the only way we can stand against his attacks and come through them victoriously and intact. But God doesn’t leave us trying to figure this out on our own. He tells us plainly how to defend ourselves.

Ephesians 6:11 (NKJV) 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

We learn how to put on His armor as we spend time in His word, getting understanding of who He is, who our enemy is and how to walk with God while repelling our adversary.

It’s all there for us. We just have to be willing to spend the time and make the effort to seek it out!
