This week, we dove into the reality of spiritual warfare and how God equips us to stand strong. The truth is, we’re not just facing physical or emotional challenges—there’s a spiritual battle happening behind the scenes. But the good news? God gives us armor to protect ourselves and walk in victory: Primary Scripture: Ephesians 6:10–18 — The Armor of God Story Focus: David & Goliath — 1 Samuel 17 - Belt of Truth – Ground yourself in God’s Word. - Breastplate of Righteousness – Guard your heart from guilt and shame. - Shoes of Peace – Stand firm without reacting in fear or anger. - Shield of Faith – Block doubt and discouragement. - Helmet of Salvation – Protect your mind and identity in Christ. - Sword of the Spirit – Use God’s Word as your offensive weapon. - Prayer – Stay connected to your power source. Spiritual attacks often show up in our thoughts, emotions, or relationships—but when we put on God’s armor and stay grounded in Him, we can face every challenge with confidence. 💬 Let’s Share: What’s one area of your life where you’ve noticed spiritual attacks lately, and which piece of God’s armor can help you stand firm in that situation? Drop your thoughts below so we can encourage each other!

Family, this week’s devotion reminded me of something powerful: peace is not passive… peace is a decision. It’s the choice to show up for yourself, even when the season feels uncertain. It’s the choice to trust God’s timing, even when you can’t see the full picture. It’s the choice to believe that the same God who calls you into the next season is the One who equips you for it. We looked at two stories: 1. Jesus calming the storm 2.Gideon meeting God in the middle of fear — and both revealed the same truth: 👉 Peace comes before the breakthrough. 👉 Peace is the foundation for the next season. 👉 Peace is what strengthens you to show up with confidence, clarity, and purpose. Sometimes peace may have to look like: ✨ setting boundaries ✨ choosing rest ✨ taking the next small step ✨ trusting what God said over what you see ✨ believing God is working even when the season is shifting As we step into a new season, I pray you carry this reminder: God is in the boat with you AND He is the God of Peace who calls you “mighty” even while you’re still in the winepress. You can move forward with confidence because God has already gone before you. Reflection for You: Comment below and share: What is one area of your life where you’re choosing to show up with more peace this season? Your answer might encourage someone else who needs it. Let’s grow together!
