“If a man doesn’t feel like he has to prove himself, that is
good. He has the shield of faith over
his heart. He believes that the blood of Jesus covers his sins and that he can
overcome his enemy by standing in the righteousness of Jesus.
But if a man doesn’t have faith, his shield is down and the
fiery accusations of satan pierce his heart (Eph 6:14 – 16). That man will meet accusation with
effort. He will try to prove his
righteousness over and over; that he is good, capable, smart . . . until he has
exhausted his life making himself the largest target on earth for an enemy he
could have defeated by faith.”
This word of prophecy reminds me that we should not be found
having a righteousness of our own (Phil 3:9) but “that which is through faith
in Christ-the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.” Let us not be
motivated by accusations, but rather filled with peace from the One Who covers
us in His nature, by grace. Amen.
