Ephesians 6:10,13 says: “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. . . Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” Susie Larson writes in Blessings for Every Day: “May God prove Himself strong on your behalf. May He show you how to wisely and strategically stand in this place. May you raise your shield of faith and block every fiery arrow the enemy sends your way. God is mighty to save. He’s with you in battle, and He’s equipped you to win.” This is the week of Hope in the Advent Wreath celebration. In these days of Covid and the grief of seeing unemployment, disruption over the election and its results, and people who are suffering because of job loss or dissatisfaction, let us fight to bring comfort and joy in spite of our circumstances. It’s hard. It’s a battle. But we know Who wins the battle and gives us strength to carry on. God bless your day so you can bless others.
