Today’s reading is Ephesians 6
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”
Ephesians 6:10-13 ESV

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil”. God loves us very much. Satan just wants to steal, kill and destroy. Satan is more crafty than us, but God is more powerful than Satan. If we rely on ourselves, we will be defeated, but we can rely on God. We can chose to live in the Spirit and let God fight the battle. Please pray that we and our friends chose to live in the Spirit today. Please pray for Wes and Brian as they build their group.
