The battle is not with human beings

~Saturday Stories~

I wrote this after reading Shannon Dittemore’s amazing book Angel Eyes. 

The world is full of

Noises we do not hear

Sights we do not see

Truths we do not understand

We think this world is all there is

But how blind that idea

How ignorant, how destructive

Does God’s Word not warn us

That the battle is not with human beings

But with the powers of darkness

That we as humans do not see

But that are nonetheless existent

Yet let us not forget

A truth so bright it blinds in a new way

That God has power over all

And the enemy has no chance

Against the might of the Almighty 

"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 1 John 4:4 (NIV)

Amen!
