Fighting the Powers That Be

"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience" (Eph 2:1-2)

An odd title comes up in Paul's letter to the Ephesian church: prince of the power of the air. What did he mean by that? Does our enemy control the weather? We have had a few days lately to blame on him if he does. Does he control the airwaves that we listen to? If so, this election may point to a nefarious hand. In truth, I really don't know what all our enemy can control or affect in his power. What I do believe and know from the word of God is that God is all mighty.

With God holding all mighty power, none can block or thwart His plans. There then must be only room for one all mighty power in the universe, and thus we call Him the Almighty. With God our Father loving us and holding almighty power, what do we have to worry about when fighting the powers that be on this earth? What is there to fear when our Father in Heaven is the superior power above all others? And, He loves us with an everlasting love!

Ah, to rest in the mighty arms of our Lord!
