“BE STRONG IN THE LORD AND HIS MIGHTY POWER. PUT ON GOD’S ARMOR SO THAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO STAND FIRM AGAINST ALL OF THE STRATAGIES OF THE DEVIL.” EPHESIANS 6:10-11
As we rise each morning, we take proper care to clothe ourselves in the proper clothing. Depending on the day, our clothing usually matches our activities. The same is said for our spiritual day. Ephesians 6: 10-11 tells us that we are to be strong in the Lord and his mighty strength. Each day we must be prepared for whatever evil comes our way. The Lord has given us his great armor so that we have not only a chance in our daily battles for victory, but so that we will have victory in our daily battles. We are to put on: (1) the belt of truth: (2) the armor of his righteousness: (3) his peace that comes from the good news: (4) the shield of faith; (5) the helmet of salvation; and (6) the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God. With his armor protecting us each day we are thoroughly prepared for what is to come. There is nothing that can come against us with the protection of our Lord God in heaven. With all of the faith we can muster, our lives are protected. With the sword of the spirit, his holy word, we have the understanding and the wisdom we need in order to stand strong in the face of all evil. Our Lord is real. He loves us more than we can understand. As we continue believe in him and trust him in all of his ways, he goes to battle for us. He searches for victory and always finds it. In the name of Jesus, we a can be confident that we will win our battles. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
