my weakness makes me an easy target . . .

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
– 1 Peter 5:8-9

Let’s not underestimate the fact that we live in a world filled with spiritual battles.
There is an enemy who is looking for our weak spots—the places of inconsistency in our lives—that he can exploit for our hurt - evil lurks around every corner, trying to infiltrate our relationships, our families, our jobs.
This is why we must stand firm in our faith, for our walk with God has to be based upon His promises, not our abilities.
We all have weaknesses, and unless we focus our minds and hearts on what God has said, we become an easy target for the devil and his appetites.
So keep your eyes and ears open, because this is a fight that will find you, no matter where you are.


Have a blessed day!
