The Bible tells us that we don't battle against flesh and blood, but the principalities of the spirit world. 

But how should we handle the world we live in day to day, when the battlefield isn't isn't so obvious? 

And for those that follow Jesus and claim him as their personal Savior, your future is completely secured. But it's still our job to work as scouts on this earthly battlefield. 

It is our job to provide forward position intel to those trusting in us, and those they're looking to us, to help them discern.

Therefore, we should wake up every morning, and put on the whole armor of God. Because, from the moment we get out of bed, to the moment we lay down again to rest, there is a VERY REAL ENEMY that is watching, plotting, and attempting to implement our utter, and complete destruction. 

Forward scouts in God's army must recognize the role we have been given, and engage the enemy, fully protected by His hand, and fully trusting in His salvation. 

And ONLY by God's grace through Jesus Christ, will we succeed.
