The Christian has a tendency to do one of two things: they either over-spiritualize everything, or under-spiritualize. While you must be careful not to attribute normal parts of living in a physical world to demonic activity, you must also be aware of the events that are likely orchestrated by our adversary — Satan. The entity of Satan exists in both the Old and New Testament, always as someone who opposes God’s people. Being not just aware but prepared for his attacks is paramount for healthy Christian living.

It's important to understand what the term Christian means. We are not simplify talking about someone who follows a creed or code of conduct, but rather someone who loves God. Love of God and his love to his children is central to the Christian faith. God has done so much for us, whether saving us from eternal damnation or placing us into his kingdom. All he asks in return is that we love him and follow his commandments.

Judges 6 describes the calling of Gideon by God. Gideon was a seemingly ordinary man called to lead Israel against overwhelming odds. Despite Gideon's fears and feelings of inadequacy, God assures him that He will be with him, empowering him to accomplish what seems impossible. This message reminds us that God doesn’t expect us to have all the strength or resources; rather, He calls us to trust Him with what we do have. Through Gideon’s story, we learn that God can work mightily through our weaknesses when we step forward in faith.
