There is a fight. We have been equipped for the fight, but every fighter knows before the fight you have to get ready for the fight to come. The fight begins long before the fight. How did Jesus handle a spiritual attack? He combated the schemes of Satan with God's Word. Each temptation He faced was met with the words, "It is written..." How can we follow this example when under attack? Know God's Word and use it. We must all be in the Word and growing. Jesus confidently stepped into the fight. What about you?
