Protection from Evil Reading: Matthew 6:13, Ephesians 6:10-18
Devotional: The final part of Jabez's prayer was for protection: "Keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain." As we seek to expand our influence for God, we can expect spiritual opposition. Today's readings remind us of the reality of spiritual warfare and our need for God's protection. Reflect on areas where you feel vulnerable to temptation or attack. Are there "places" (physical or virtual) you need to avoid? Ask God for discernment and strength to resist evil. Put on the full armor of God, recognizing that our ultimate protection comes not from our own efforts, but from Christ's victory over sin and death.
