"The Battle"

Each one of us have daily battles we fight. These battles can be at home, work, school, or in our everyday life. Satan exist and his quest is to destroy the and devour as many souls as he can. We need to realize that we are in a definite spiritual warfare. Satan knows what our weaknesses are and will continue to attack these weaknesses. This is Satan's battle that he aims toward believers and non-believers alike. Both believers and non-believers will fall to some of the temptations but the difference is the believers will repent for what they have done and try to turn from their sins.
Pride = Selfishness
Humility = Selflessness

"The greatest among you will be your servant. For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted." Matthew 23:11-12 (NIV).

"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 1 John 4:4 (NIV).
John is telling us that the battle has already been won for us. Jesus will conquer all evil in our lives.

"That is why I am suffering as I am. Yet I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day." 2 Timothy 1:12 (NIV).
We need to remember that the battles that we face daily, Jesus has already faced these temptations or battles, and won.
