“The great dragon was
cast out!” These Biblical words proclaim our ultimate victory. We blame Satan
and others for leading us astray, but no one can force us down the wrong path.
Enticements, fears, deceptions and insecurities are powerful enemies; but the
child of God is never defenseless in battle, we have mighty weapons at our
disposal. Our greatest weapon is the wisdom and assurance truth brings. The
Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit; it is the Dragon Slayer! O LORD My
Victor, may Truth fill my heart so that no weapon formed against me may
prosper. May Your Word so penetrate my soul that it becomes an undefeatable
weapon in my hand.
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.
