The outcome of a contest often comes down to who wants it more. As a result, nothing makes our spiritual enemy happier than when we take matters of faith and eternity lightly. While we think it’s all fun and games, he’s playing for keeps. Thankfully we have a God who takes this battle just as seriously and who is far stronger than our foe. This week we see how our victory in this war is not dependent on us but on Jesus, our champion. Left to ourselves we would be powerless against the forces of evil. However, clothed in Christ’s strength, we can withstand the devil’s best attacks.
