Each part
of our armor is vital. Let’s take a peek.
Stand firm then, with the belt of
truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in
place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel
of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith with which you
can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of
salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of Gd. And pray in the
Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in
mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:14-18
Have
confidence in God’s protection. Our hearts are covered with the righteousness
of Christ. Our feet walk in the peace of the Gospel. Our belt is tightened with
God’s truth. And always, we are filled for salvation. Our faith in Christ fights
the arrows of Satan. And our one offensive weapon is God’s Word! The Word of
Christ has great power. In fact, Jesus used the Word when he was tempted by the
devil himself. (see Matthew 4)
And finally, we have the power of prayer.
Pray continually. Truth, faith,
righteousness, peace, salvation and prayer. He has us covered. Walk with
confidence in our redeemer.
Jesus,
Your
armor covers us and clothes us with Your mighty power. Remind us to place Your
armor tightly around us every single day as we resist the flames of the arrows
of Satan. With You we can do all things.
Amen
