Everyday life is our front line in the war against the devil. God Himself must decide where each of us is to fight. We cannot choose the battlefield we prefer. If you conquered a problem today in the strength of Jesus Christ, that was a victory. You are now stronger for the end battle.
"And though this world, with devils filled
should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us
The Prince of Darkness grim
we tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
for lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him."
(A Mighty Fortress Is Our God –Martin Luther)
"But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 15:57 RSV
Give us the grace to fight wherever You choose to place us, Lord. Only you can see the battlefield completely; we see only one small part of it.
