“Finally, brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take the whole armour of God,
that you may be able to withstand the evil day, and having done all, to stand” Ephesians 6:10-13. St. Augustine said, “The devil is like a chained dog; he can bite only those who come too near him.”
Let us pray, Lord Jesus, grant us the grace never to grow careless in our spiritual life or take temptation lightly. Keep us far from the snares of the devil, that we may never venture into his territory or play with what endangers our souls. Strengthen us to resist evil, remain steadfast in faith, and always walk in Your light. Amen. “Let your light shine!!” Be blessed. Larry.
