Let me put on my armor!

So I am talking to someone about their situation today. Things were not going well with this person and in this particular situation, I let them know that what was going on would happen again. I advised them to pray to God for a hedge of protection which made me think of a bible verse. So I looked up the bible verse so that I could properly give the Word.


Ephesians 6:10-18
The Armor of God

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

18 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.

Then as I was reading what I sent to this person, as the words started sinking in, I just stopped and sat there. While I am busy telling someone else about putting on the full Armor of God.....I need to be doing this as well. Situations arise and they always will, but if we prepare ourselves by putting on the full Armor of God everyday, we are better able to get through these situations. As long as we are in this world, we will have trials and tribulations. But having God in your life as you go through life, makes things so much better. I have noticed that I can react to certain situations with such an amazing calmness and I know, it is all thanks to my loving Father. Sometimes I cannot express the way I feel knowing that I have God in my life. Life doesn't always get easier but it becomes different, in a good way. Why would I want to go through life without my Heavenly Father? People just don't know nor understand what that feels like. But it is my duty to let them know. (Yes God, I am working on that one!) LOL....

I have had a wonderful day in the Lord today and I am so thankful for His mercy and grace which is new everyday. I am thankful for the things He has done or will do. I am thankful for the good times and the bad times. The bad times help us grow. Heck, I am just one thankful sister!

Thank you Lord, for being the head of my life, and may I always continue to keep You there for the rest of my life!

Until next time......
