Battle Gear/The Belt


     We begin to look at the armor God has given us to wear. We are already clothed with it. We just need to remind ourselves of our Spiritual armor.

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. Ephesians 6:11

     The first piece of armor listed holds everything together.

Stand firm then, with the belt of truth tucked around your waist…Ephesians 6:14a

     It is no surprise that part of our armor is truth. Jesus is the truth and the life and what He has done for us is also true. The world of darkness wants to place doubt in our minds. It goes way back to the garden of Eden when the serpent asks Eve, “Did God really say…?” (Genesis 3)

     His wily ways continue to plant doubt in our minds. Is it true? Is the Bible true? Did Jesus walk the earth, was He crucified, was He buried, and did He rise again? And we can answer the doubt with a resounding, “Yes!” as we pull tight the belt of truth and remain steadfast in your faith. He is real and He is truth.

Jesus,

Thank You for true faith, for being our living, personal, loving God. Remove doubt from our minds and cinch up our spiritual belts so tight we will never forget.

Amen
