Dailies – In His Word
May 25, 2019
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in
reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For
when I am weak, then I am strong. 2 Corinthians 10:12
We hear
this a lot but how are we strong when we are weak? How can we stand when we
feel like there is not an ounce of strength in our legs? We put on the Armor of
God!
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the
power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to
stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against
spiritual hosts of wickedness
in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor
of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done
all, to stand. Stand
therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the
breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the
gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword
of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the
Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication
for all the saints— Ephesians 6: 10-19
There
was a day, when my children were small that my friends and I would physically
act out the putting on of our armor each day with them. It was a good reminder of all that Christ did
for us. That He created a way for us to be pure of heart and mind by studying
the Word of God and praying. Trusting God to protect and provide all that we
need. All we have to do is trust, have faith in God, and obey the directions He
gives us in His Word.
Put on
the whole armor of God it protects us from stinking thinking, speaking the
wrong things, living a righteous life. Walking in the Spirit of peace. Its all
there when we have our armor on. The Holy Spirit will always keep us close to
His heart if we keep our eyes on Him.
Heavenly
Father, thank you for the visual of the Armor of God, that protects and keeps
us safe, help us to remember that You are with us in all that we do, in Jesus’
name , amen.
