Sometimes the hardest part of the fight isn’t the battle itself—it’s what we’re up against. It’s what we’re fighting for. WHO we’re fighting for.
Unfortunately, we don’t physically see the spiritual realm—all we see are our struggles: bills stacking up, bank accounts being drained, the conflicts in our relationships, the anxiety that keeps us awake at night, the awful state of this country and this world, and so on. But Scripture reminds us that it’s so much deeper than that.
Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 (NLT) that: “We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.”
And in Ephesians 6:12 (NLT): “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”
Our fight isn’t just about making it through another stressful day or finding solutions to every problem. It’s about standing firm in the truth of who God is and what He has already won for us.
When we feel overwhelmed by what we see, we can take comfort in what we can’t see—God’s power at work in the unseen. His Word assures us that He has equipped us with everything we need to face this battlefield we call life. Remember, you’re not fighting in your own strength. Put on the full armor of God and remain steadfast in the One who has already overcome, so that you can overcome too.
