Deception
is a primary tactic in both human and spiritual battles. This
is accomplished by intentional misinformation or creating an artificial visual
falsehood. Diversionary measures are used to cause the opponent to react
to the wrong circumstances and to waste their resources. Thankfully, in
spiritual warfare, the weapons and war tactics granted to us by God are not
fleshly, carnal weapons; they have God’s might with them. He grants us
discernment to expose the enemy’s deception. Almighty King of the Universe, You
disperse darkness and cause the enemies of Your Kingdom to flee.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
