Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps. Psalm 85:13
It seems sometimes that the enemy is lurking everywhere we walk. Little temptations - little attacks - await us around every corner. There are times when I am physically exhausted by the spiritual battles I must fight. And the enemy knows - the longer he attacks, the greater the likelihood I will give in.
What is a man to do?
The answer may seem plain... walk a different way. But what if that isn't an option? What then?
The psalmist gives us the clue. Send righteousness ahead! He will prepare the way.
Lord, too often I forget that I have power over the enemy. Your Spirit dwells within me. He will keep me from the enemy's snares.
Holy Spirit, prepare my way today!
