OUTFIT YOURSELF WITH SPIRITUAL ARMOR!

“The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.” –ROMANS 13:12

READ: Ephesians 6:10-18. Christ has won the war against the powers of darkness: Satan and his demons. However, we still battle against them daily. You wouldn’t go out in the rain without an umbrella or into the freezing cold without a jacket. Why then do so many Christians enter the battle field without putting on the “full armor of God” (vs. 11)? We protect our flesh from the elements but often neglect to outfit ourselves for spiritual protection. Take a close look at each element of the armor of God described in today’s reading. Is there a “chink in the armor” somewhere in you? If so, let God fill in the gaps today.

PRAY: Lord, make each part of Your armor strong in my life. Show me any weaknesses that I might submit them to You for repair. Amen.
