NO SURRENDER

"Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are.” 1 Peter 5:8-9 NLT

I will not surrender. I may enter the battle without all the information I need. I may not know just how fully God has equipped me. I may not realize the power the Lord is wielding through me. I may never have to strike a blow to win the battle. What I do know is that my armor covers me as I move forward not backwards. When I retreat, I expose the areas of my life that are most vulnerable. I will enter the battle with my eyes looking forward. The Lord will guide my words and my steps. The enemy has no power stronger than the name of Jesus. My mind is made up. I will trust in Him and He will be my sword and shield. I pray the other warriors around me will share the same attitude and will pray for those who curse them. Lord, help me be the warrior You have called me to be.
