Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. 1 CORINTHIANS 16:13 NLT
For every decision You make, there will be someone who questions your choice. A decision made by faith withstands these challenges. God knew your worst adversary would try to confuse you and make You think good decisions are bad and bad decisions are best.
The Bible says this adversary comes to “steal and kill and destroy” (John 10:10 NLT). No wonder you’re told to “be on guard, be courageous, and be strong.” You need all the encouragement You can get because Your adversary works overtime to move You from the narrow path God created to a road leading to destruction. He challenges Your faith. He questions whether God can be trusted, if He really cares for you, or even whether God loves you at all.
Because faith is an absolute trust in the God of all gods, You can discover that entertaining the challenges of the adversary increases the chance that you will falter in Your faith.
The armour of God is supplied to help You stand firm (Ephesians 6:10-18). Each piece of armour is designed to help you remember You are in Christ and then to remind your adversary that You never stand alone. Be courageous, Stand firm.
