The Unseen Battle

This week we still tackled about the Crusades and watched a video about it. I learned that people in those times were really pitiful. They were always fighting and killing each other and I cannot imagine how tragic it is to witness something like that happening around me. As  I thought of that, a lot of things were running in my mind. Then I was reminded of a battle. A battle that is not seen. There is indeed a war within the spiritual realms that is happening constantly without us knowing.

Christian life is really not a life full of leisure time or a life in a playground, but is a battle against the evil forces of this world. That's why I was able to evaluate myself if I have been wearing my full armor nowadays. I tend to have time to just relax for everything and not mind about other people. There are times when I just become passive and ignore the conviction of the Holy Spirit within me. And most of the time, I am easily distracted with the worries, fears and doubts that are ringing loudly in my head. But I thank God because He never leaves me nor forsakes me. He is my strength and my shield, my ever present help in times of need and in Him will I only trust.

With the things that I have learned, I will apply it by making sure that I will put on the full armor of God everyday of my life. I will depend on God always and let Him fight the battle for me. Knowing that my life is not a playground, nor a joke that should be taken for granted, I will always remind myself that I must not live my life lightly, nor relaxed, but I must be fervent all the more to serve Jesus because I know that I am brought with a precious price, the blood of Jesus.
