Today as I read and reflect I am brought back to putting on
the Whole Armor in Eph 6.
Greg my Son
my Friend…walking together thru this valley...I am reminded as I thought yesterday, and what has happened
this week…(good and bad) that as hard as this has been…God is doing some
marvelous things right now, and that is
my next blog….*smile*
We need to study…pay attention…use…put on…The armor that God has given us through our Lord, Christ
Jesus…and do it every morning.
I heard
years ago, that when we get up, rush out into the day...it is like streaking, (running out of the house without any
clothes on. *Smile*)
Helmet of Salvation...Breastplate of Righteousness...Girdle
of Truth...Shield of Faith...Sword of
the Spirit...Shoes of Peace. When you put these all together, you will
find out who Jesus is…because He is all of these pieces of the Armor!! So we must be ready for the fight….it is
coming, it is here, and we better be prepared.
What is VERY interesting, is that He says to put these on, and
when the day of evil comes... you may be able to stand …He didn’t say fight…
He says stand firm… so that you can take your stand against the devil’s
schemes.
Next verse….For our
struggle is not against flesh and blood BUT against the
rulers of darkness, authorities, powers of this dark world, and against the
spiritual forces of evil….
STAND…is the command…and the only way we can STAND is on our
knees. We have no power against these
forces, but I know the ONE who does
have the power….Greater is He that
is in you, than he that is in the
world…that means ol’ slewfoot the devil
himself.
Now you know just what it means
to put on the Whole Armor…put on Jesus, every morning…walk comfortably into the
sunshine or the shadow…knowing that all thru Scripture He repeats….Don’t worry… I go before
you…stand still and see what I will do…I
am the same yesterday, today and forever…I never change…I am God… I cannot lie… get it?
Can we concentrate on this?
Can we just Do what the Word sez?
Can we give it up, and let God do what He does best? Pray the prayer that NEVER fails? (Thy will be done) Oh brother, here I am going on 84…and I am
still working on this…well as they say, ‘I am a work in progress, God is NOT
thru with me yet..’…..and He surely has a lot of work to do…*smile*
So look up, hold tightly to His hand, and we’ll see you here…there or in the
air…(and I am holding tight to the IN
THE AIR part…I hope it is soon!!!)
See ya Cray, in the Morning!
(Ida is there already thank you Jesus for your Faithfulness!!)
