Faith is something we must cultivate in our lives. The more we hold on to the promises of His word, the more our faith will grow and bear fruit. May this devotional give us the strength to have fruitful faith.

We are involved in an unseen battle, whether we believe it or not. We have a real enemy who hates us. We have an opponent committed to stealing from us, killing us, and destroying us. His language is fear, isolation, and accusation. His currency is condemnation. We must watch out for the devil’s schemes because Scripture says our struggle is not against flesh and blood.

Jesus’ followers are in a spiritual battle. Because we seek to live for God, we are the targets of enemy attacks. Satan, God’s enemy and ours, will do all he can to leave us discouraged, doubting, and defeated. These brief prayers and foundational Scriptures will help you to keep your eyes on Jesus, stand firm in the faith, and experience daily victory as you “fight on your knees”!

Written following their return from exile, Chronicles is a theological retelling of Israel's monarchial history.
