Battling Spiritual Fog

Many of us who grew up in the relative peace of 21st-century Western society are often naive and ill-prepared when faced with the realities of war. This is just as true when it comes to spiritual warfare. We become easily discouraged and fall into the trap of asking why, instead of donning the armor of God and fighting against the enemy's treachery with truth and faith. The reality is that there is an ongoing spiritual battle, and we must learn to expect the enemy's schemes to sabotage God's good work. But the good news is that although resistance is inevitable in this world, Jesus tells us to take heart, for He has overcome the world.
