The enemy is always in search of the weak and weary. His business plan is based on identifying our weak points and catching us when we're weary. That plan works.
When we’re tired, we give in quickly and give up even faster than that. Physcial exhaustion causes us to have less energy and slower reflects. The enemy is watching and waiting to pounce.
Genesis 2:2 reminds us of this, "And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done."
God rested, what makes us think we don’t need to? We all have busy lives. Take time to rest. Stop and look at everything that was created. Check out all that God has blessed you with. Then put your plan in action to give Him glory for being so gracious to you.
Not only does the enemy recognize our levels of low energy, he also recognizes when we don’t praise and honor God with our lives—that makes us weak too. Time spent in prayer and meditating on the Bible will give us spiritual strength. A strong physical body and a strong spiritual body will empower us to stand against the enemy's attacks.
September is “ME” Month.
It’s time to get your rest and time to give God glory. Don’t fall prey to the enemy on default. Get your rest and honor God with your life.
