There's a vicious war going on between good and evil, and as christians, we will fight many battles and face powerful enemies. Satan will use every method he has to discourage us, and make no mistake, he knows exactly which buttons to push. But no matter how fierce the battle we can have perfect peace, for God is with us. He will give us the strength and courage to face each day. He gives us everlasting, unconditional love to sustain us, and He will give us wisdom and guidance to fight each and every battle. God has promised in Joshua 1:5 that he will never leave us nor forsake us, and that's a promise we can count on. Friends may come and go, but Jesus will stand by us, always. Best of all, we know and have the blessed assurance that in the end, God wins. Our Creator God, King of the universe, is more powerful than Satan. The enemy will be defeated. We can have blessed peace as long as we keep our eyes focused on Jesus, our Creator, Savior, Protector, and Friend.
