Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. — Ephesians 6:11

So often, we only think about the things we like, are good at, or are interested in doing. God wants us to use all of his spiritual weapons. He wants us to be disciplined and grow in areas where we are spiritually weak or don’t find much excitement or interest. Our bad opponent is clever, and he will try to attack us where we are weak and open to attack. So, let’s promise to work hard not just in the areas we like and are good at, but especially in the areas we are not.

Prayer

Father, help me to be strong in the places where I am most prone to sin or laziness. Open my eyes and help me see where I need to improve. Rekindle in me the desire to seek your holiness with all my heart. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
