And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.
(Genesis 41:53)Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
(Ephesians 6:13) In times of peace, we have to prepare for war
Believers should not wait for moments of crisis to strengthen their spiritual foundations. Every day, through prayer, reading the Word, and communion with other believers, they should prepare themselves for both normalcy and testing. While it is important to be vigilant against the wiles of the devil, believers should not become preoccupied with the machinations of the demonic hosts. They should focus on the love and grace of God, which are always resting on their lives. The main problem with some believers is that they see the Christian life almost exclusively from a crisis perspective, neglecting ethical growth, the strengthening of personality, and the daily cultivation of the Fruit of the Spirit. It is important to build solid walls to protect our spiritual life and build solid foundations to resist the pressures of the Christian life. Believers should plan for times of drought and adversity, so that when the Enemy rises to throw his fiery darts at them, they will find their armor ready to resist on the bad day.
