In Him, I Have All I Need

By Paula Williamson, guest writer

The more grounded we are in the Word of God, the better equipped we are to live a victorious life. It’s easier than ever to Google a scripture that addresses an issue you are experiencing. I have done this for over fifty years, and that is where these truths for the day and daily blogs come from. Whatever I am experiencing, I turn to God’s Word for wisdom. It renews my mind with truth.

It Is Written

EPHESIANS 6:12-17 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places ^{. 13}Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. ¹⁴ Stand firm

therefore, having belted your waist with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Armed and Dangerous

According to the Word of God, our struggle is not against people. We are fully equipped through prayer and His word to walk in victory no matter the circumstances. More than that, we were created to overcome evil with good and to make a difference wherever we go. Suit up and make a difference out there!

Prayer

Lord, help me recognize where the battle is and use the weapons You have given me. Remind me that I am not fighting people. We are all doing the best we can. Help me exercise the power You gave me in the real battle and turn my complaints into prayers that make a difference. Help me exercise my faith and stand on Your word.

Takeaway

I am fully equipped!
