You will be tested. Like Jesus' desert trial, the enemy comes probing at your weak spots. But this trains you. You make no agreement with whatever the temptation or accusation is. You repent quickly the moment you do stumble so you don't get hammered. You pray for strength from the Spirit of God in you. You directly resist the enemy, out loud, as Jesus did in the desert. You quote Scripture against him and command him to flee.
Life will provide a thousand sessions for raising the warrior God calls you to be. Turn your radar on during the day and intentionally don't take the path of least resistance. Take the road less traveled. When an awkward subject comes up, don't run. Move toward it. Ask hard questions. When the phone rings and it's someone you don't want to talk to, pick it up. Engage. That's the key word- engage. Choose to engage and your weary warrior wakes up.
Where in your life do you need to engage right now? In a tough relationship? A moral issue at work? Your children? Your business? Tending to your own soul?
May the warrior in you rise up and engage. Greater works than Jesus did we are to do, and because He passed His tests, you'll pass yours, finish well and finish strong in Jesus name.
Good Morning and happy Midweek.
