Today is Saturday, May 12, 2018. Hi, my name is Adam Burton, and you are listening to The Daily Divo, a short devotional designed to help you apply God's word to your life. The content comes from the gospel project. Take a few moments and read Ephesians, chapter 6, verses 10 through 20.
What is it about underdog stories that draw us in? What makes us pull for the team no one expects to win? What makes us want good to triumph over evil, even when the odds are stacked against those who fight for good? In many ways, we look like the underdogs in the fight of good versus evil, but what often happens with underdogs?
They come from behind, and they win. What is your favorite underdog story? Why is that? Ephesians are the underdogs, and the greatest battle ever fought.
People don't expect us to win. The outlook is often bleak, and they don't believe that good will triumph over evil once and for all. But what if good has already triumphed over evil? Jesus died on the cross, but rose to life, and in that he defeated sin and death for us.
We will still sin, but sin cannot win unless we allow it to, because we are more than conquerors through the one who loves us, through the power of the Holy Spirit who lives within us, and by causing the spiritual armor of God has given to us, we can win, and we will win. If you are in need of prayer, please get in touch with me, I would love to pray for you. If you can connect with me on social media, or shoot me an email, at www.adamburton.net. Oh, thank you.
