When we are most challenged, we often try to work on our own. It's when we fail that we call on God and others. What if we turned to God first? What if we sought Him first rather than our own strengths and abilities?
Satan will try every angle and use anything he can to trip us up . . . even our friends! He will have us believe we can do it alone with our own training and abilities. Yet we must always remember, though we may be trained, though we may be experienced, though we may have the best group of co-workers, teammates, friends or family, we still need God!
We need to resist the devils ploys. At times we flee his attempts to throw us off. Other times we have to come face to face with trials and resist with all our resources . . . relying upon God and all He supplies. . . His Word, His promises, and yes, His people!
Today, I am pleading with God for the young people in my life . . . our children, grandchildren, and all the young people in our classroom and in our coaching ministry. I am pleading the blood of Jesus over them and asking the Lord to save the lost and strengthen the saved. Lord, remove the lies and supply Your Truths.
I am relying upon God and all He supplies!
For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. (2 Corinthians 10: 4-6)
