Dressed for the Occasion

“Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”  Ephesians 6:11

 

You have an enemy.  As a child of God, the devil has you in his cross-hairs.  He wants to destroy you- but you are not without protection.  God has given you a full armor.  A bullet-proof jacket, so to speak, that protects you from the enemy.  Aren’t you grateful that your Father lovingly supplies all that you need to live a secure and victorious life in Him?

In this passage we are commanded to put on the full armor of God.  That means that every bit of it is necessary if we want to be kept safe.  It also implies that it is our responsibility to put it on.  You must arm yourself because you will most certainly need to “take your stand” against the schemes Satan throws your way.  He is always scheming and working to get a foothold in the life of the believer, but he cannot succeed when we align ourselves with God’s plans and provision.

Seek the Lord today and ask if there are unprotected areas in your armor.  Begin to pray to be fully covered in His protection.

Dear Lord, please show me the areas that I am unprotected and uncovered.  Help me to line up my life with your Word and put on the full armor of God.  I thank you for your ample provision.  In Jesus’ Name.  Amen.
