保羅告訴我們:當我們與惡魔爭戰時,要靠著主的大能大力,還要拿起神所賜的全副軍裝。這樣,爭戰過後,並不是兩敗俱傷,而是還能站立得住。“在我敵人面前,你為我擺設筵席。”(詩23:5)
願我效法保羅,甘願作主的奴僕,照著當盡的本分而行。

保羅說我們是與惡魔爭戰。必須靠神的大能大力才能勝過。 感謝神賜給我們祂自己的全副軍裝。穿戴這軍裝就能抵擋仇敵並在牠面前站立得住:
以真理束腰、用公義作護心鏡遮胸、穿上平安的福音的鞋、拿著信德作盾牌、戴上救恩的頭盔、拿著聖靈的寶劍(神的道)、靠著聖靈、隨時多方禱告祈求。
願我遵照主的吩咐,好好穿戴並使用神所賜的軍裝,靠主的大能大力抵擋魔鬼並勝過牠的引誘、詭計和攻擊。放膽地為主而活。

It is important that young children get to know God early in their lives because they will go to pray whatever they feel need to do so. They learn by assimilation in what their parents are doing. All this reaction is so spontaneous without thinking. We, as Christians would sometimes go for an alternative route to seek help in solving problems. Many times pastors or senior pastoral stuff always emphasize the importance of praying. It will help us to shift away from the mental burden and get all the strength that we need to face or to react to the situation with calmness and wisdom simply through praying. With additional of strong trust and dependence, the panic and worry will be gone very soon. How often do we have strong trust and obey, it all depends on our relationship with our heavenly father.
