I woke up early this morning with something poking my legs. I commanded the spirits out of the house and went back to sleep. It was poking again. I went to war this time; it had disrupted my sleep again. I was not letting the enemy have a foothold.
“and do not give the devil a foothold.” Ephesians 4:27 NIV
I prayed again more aggressively, dosed off to sleep, and felt poking again. I rolled over and realized my daughter’s foot was poking me. Like Paul’s, my situational awareness was off: “Now get up and stand on your feet. I have appeared to you to appoint you as a servant and as a witness of what you have seen and will see of me.” Acts 26:16 NIV
Lord, help us to see as you see and to fight the good fight. I pray this in Jesus’ name.
