The Bible was written a long time ago. From the beginning to the end, it tells the story of lives that went before us. Lives that lived for God and lives that did not live for God. It tells us how Jesus walked this earth as a human and followed the will of his father. Lives were changed as he walked this earth and lives continue to be changed after the death of Jesus. He tells us not to be afraid or discouraged in life. God is with us.
2 Chronicles 20:15 New International Version (NIV)
He said: “Listen, King Jehoshaphat and all who live in Judah and Jerusalem! This is what the Lord says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s.

Jesus told us, our struggle will not be against flesh and blood.
Ephesians 6:12-13 New International Version (NIV)
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.

I decided to put on the full armor of God daily.
Ephesians 6:10-20 New International Version (NIV)
The Armor of God
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassadorin chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
We have the scriptures to tell us how to protection our lives. Putting on the full armor of God daily is so important. There is a enemy of our soul that wants to stop you and me from living for God. Daily we can get challenged with things and decisions. Stopping and thinking before we react to things, makes a difference too.
A LONG TIME AGO ~
God created the Heavens and Earth.
Then HE created each of us for a purpose. Life each day in the fullness of his plan. My prayers continue for you, your family and friends.
