Discouragement and Deception.

Two of the most effective tools of the wicked one.

Discouragement is especially effective, because it can arise from within and can take hold of us from any one of a variety of sources. And deception has been the enemy's weapon from the very beginning, in Genesis 3.

To combat both discouragement and deception, we require that our minds be protected - that we have the very mind of Christ. And for that, we need today's portion of the armor of God, the helmet of salvation.

For protection from discouragement and deception, turn to Ephesians 6:17 for today's installment of Rinse and Repeat!
