The Bible tells us that this world is controlled by Satan. There is a spiritual battle that we are part of, even though we can't see it. If we belong to Christ, we are soldiers in the battle.
In our lives there are many little battles for our mind and our devotion and our time. Satan tries to lure us away from putting the Lord first in our lives. If we don't arm ourselves with His armor, we will be vulnerable to the enemy.
(Ephesians 6:8-18)
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world,
against spiritual wickedness in high places."
(Ephesians 6:12)

against the rulers of the darkness of this world,

Sometimes we fail. Sometimes, the enemy wins a battle because we try to fight in our own strength. We don't have to have to be losers. Christ is our captain! When we let Him battle for us, we can be conquerors.
We can have the victory!
Do you have anything to be grateful about today?
