"Put On The Full Armor Of GOD."

The devil's chessboard!

(Charles Spurgeon, "Flowers from a Puritan's Garden" 1883)

"So that satan will not outsmart us.
For we are familiar with his evil
schemes!" 2 Corinthians 2:11

"Be watchful; the world is the devil's 

chessboard! You can hardly move 

backward or forward, but he is ready 

to attack you with some temptation!"

Those who play at the game of chess 

know that great caution is needed. Your 

opponent is working toward a design of 

which you know nothing; and while you 

imagine that you are doing exceedingly 

well, he is entrapping you!

The game of life, as against 

satan, is one in which . . .

  his maneuvers and artifice,

  his long practice and stratagems,

  his superior skill and deceptiveness,

  and his unscrupulousness--

give him an immense advantage 

over our poor self-conceited folly!

LORD, help us! 

YOU know our adversary; be

pleased to deliver us out of his hand.

"Put on the full armor of GOD so that 

you can take your stand against 

the devil's schemes!" Ephesians 6:11
