24/7faith
Day 1 Our experience confirms the suggestion of this passage—that life is basically a struggle. Life never conforms to the rosy idealism of our dreams or to the romanticism of our songs. The explanation of this struggle lies deeper than we ordinarily think. The common view of our struggle has been that we are engaged in conflict against flesh and blood, against other men and women. But Paul says the battle is not against flesh and blood; it lies deeper than that. The basic problem is that this is a battle between the Kingdom of God and the kingdom of satan and that people themselves are the battlefield. The battle is visible not only in the wars, revolutions and crime waves that fill our newspapers, but it is also seen in the inner tensions and fears of individual lives, in the neurotic problems and mental illnesses that afflict us today, in family fights and church struggles. It is even visible in nature, where all of life competes in a ruthless, deadly struggle to survive; such is the fall of creation. Since the moral fall of man, there has been death. Satan always tries to distract us from the real battle. He will try to focus our attention on those around us and those we are in relationship with or even within ourselves. BUT, he is our enemy! Are you fighting the right fight? #247daily
