David fought against a bear, a lion, a giant and the enemies of Israel. He was always fighting battles. Just because he had fought against a bear and a lion and won did not mean that his "warring" was over. Then there came a giant.
Just because you have fought a spiritual battle or two doesn't mean that you can sit back and rest from battles. Oh, there will be times of rest (thankfully) to catch our breath and regroup, but there will always be a giant to slay. There will at some point come another bear or a lion. Spiritual warfare is an unending part of the Christian life. The enemy of our soul is always out to steal, kill and destroy us. Our own flesh is always trying to defeat us.
Just because you fought a battle yesterday, and even won, doesn't mean you may not face another one today. We can't rest from spiritual warfare. We have to be ready for it when it comes-- and it will come. We have to be ready to engage in it at a moment's notice. We have to continually remember that, as David did, the Lord delivered me, and will deliver me and give me the victory over the enemies that war against my soul.
Have a great day. Just because you won a battle yesterday doesn't mean that you might not have to fight another one today. Don't get too comfortable and forget about your enemy.
