The outcome of a contest often comes down to who wants it more. As a result, nothing makes our spiritual enemy happier than when we take matters of faith and eternity lightly. While we think it’s all fun and games, he’s playing for keeps. Thankfully we have a God who takes this battle just as seriously and who is far stronger than our foe. This week we see how the enemy brings this spiritual battle right to our front doorstep. He knows that the place where he can have the most influence is right in our home. Thankfully, God’s influence in our homes is even more powerful than our enemies. Through his Word he keeps our hearts devoted to him.
