Suit up for battle

 

 

 

Ephesians 6: 10-11

 

¹⁰Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. ¹¹Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

 

There is nothing that they Lord would not give you to make you successful in your fight against the devil. Every morning when you wake up it is alive inside of you. The armor of God is at your disposal, all you have to do is take the time to put it on! Would a soldier go in to battle without his helmet, or would he leave behind his bullet proof vest? Perhaps he might not want to lace up his boots, or put in his strike plate…..Of course not! Everyday the soldier wakes up and readies for battle, some days he might feel tired, or he might feel defeated, but he does not forget to dress for battle. He knows the first day he does might just cost him his life.

 

We might not have IEDs, and snipers, that we can easily identify, but I promise you. There is a battle going on for your soul, and every day you have to dress for that battle. The first day you don’t might just set you on the path to defeat! While a soldier is only as strong as his squad, platoon, or Company; we have an unlimited, mighty strength that we can depend on, that is the strength of the Lord. So I urge everyone each day, every morning put on the full armor of God. God will never forsake you, he will always protect you, but you have to use the tools that he gives you!
