Luke 6:22-23 The Battle Is The Lord's

Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man. ²³ Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.

The battle is the Lord’s, but we are His foot-soldiers. Like it or not, our battle is not of flesh and blood, but one against powers, principalities, and dark forces who are the soldiers for the Evil One. But we belong to Christ and as such are the enemies of the world. Jesus tells us that if the world crucified Him, the world will spite His believers. Before Christ’s advent, the prophets were God’s spokes-persons. Today, disciples of Jesus lead the way continuing the earthly work of Christ with Him as our Leader.

Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, we do depend on You alone for the battle that we face every day. Strengthen us in spirit and in faith to work your work and walk your walk. In your holy name I pray Amen.
