The Armor of God

What’s the oldest thing you’re wearing today?

Clothing? No.

Jewelry? No.

The Armor of God? Yes!!

The armor of God is something we have to ‘take up’, ‘put on’, ‘wear’ and ‘use.’ We need to be on guard and God provides protection.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil 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 firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance…

~Ephesians 6:10-18

This scripture is so important and Christians can be sleepy, lazy and forgetful (thinking of myself here as well.) We need to be reminded of the gospel…God’s truths and promises!

So, take this as your reminder.

Let us not forget to put on this armor! May this be an encouragement to you as it was for me today.💜
