2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Our greatest weapon against evil is our relationship with God - and specifically the Holy Spirit, which dwells within us. When we feel doubt, confusion or anger, we become more fertile territory for the forces of evil to lead us in the wrong direction. This is something I will need to think more about and try harder to incorporate into my every day. When I am feeling "off", the first place for me to go is to God- not the refrigerator or Amazon, or Instagram to watch reels. God is the only one who can put me back on track, and I have direct access through the Holy Spirit.
Holy Lord, help me remember to turn to you, and not turn to worldly comforts when something upsets my "world." You are forever faithful, and stronger than any force which pulls me away. Amen
Becky, transforming
