Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.
THANK. Write down 3-5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
READ. Our Scripture Focus is Ephesians 6:10-20. Today’s reading is from 1 Peter 5:6-11 (Go Deeper: Job 1, 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 & 2 Thessalonians 3:1-5)
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Dave…
We stand up for what we believe in. We stand up in weddings. Taking a stand means “refusing to be moved.” And sometimes, simply standing is the best thing we can do. When Jesus died and rose again, the victory was won. Satan defeated. The only power the enemy has is what we give him. Ephesians calls us to stand (stay put, don’t be moved) - meaning we should stay in Jesus’ victory under the protection of God’s armor. Like an umbrella protects us from the rain, the armor of God will not stop the attacks from coming - but it will keep them from moving you. The armor of God is given because our battle is not against other people, but against spiritual forces and the evil one. Believers are able to withstand and fight in spiritual battles when equipped with the full spiritual armor God provides. What do today’s readings say about the enemy we’re fighting? What is God’s role in spiritual warfare? What is yours? How does that encourage you in the trials you are currently facing?
LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations.
