I know I know...update within one day but I was reading this in my devotional, "Wild at Heart," and it hit me hard. I was reading a portion of my workbook, and it mentioned in Daniel 10 that it took an angel 3 weeks to get to Daniel because of spiritual warfare. WOW...Sometimes I think I forget the magnitude of the fight going on right now. Yes it's a battle between Satan and God, but it's also a battle for your heart...WOW...I think I have forgotten so many times that God is FIGHTING for me! He's fighting for you too. The battle we face is extreme! Satan knows that you are dangerous if you consume yourselves in God's heart. When we edge closer and closer to God's intentions for our lives, we are being built up to resist and fight the devil. HOLY COW! Doesn't that get you excited? There is a bigger story at hand here. It's so important to consume yourself in the heart of God. Not only does he long to reveal himself to you/a plan for your life, but he desires to equip you for battle. He wants to get us ready for a fight which determines the destination of thousands of people a day. People are dying every second, and it's up to Christians all over the world to take a stand. Are we going to fight for the cause of Christ? Will we project the love of Christ globally? Will we become the body of Christ for the lost in this world? God is calling you by name....Will you answer? Will you rise up?

Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.  -1 Peter 5: 8-9
