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."
Reading about the ARMOR OF GOD... it surrounds us. Like Violets forcefield :) And we can help each other out by encouraging, motivating, building up each other's faith in Christ, and sharing God's power with one another.
If we are in the center, we are in safety. Deuteronomy 5:32 says, "So be careful to do what the LORD your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or to the left."
And I thought about that "right or left," NOT ahead or behind either. We should not be outside the position where God has for us.
I do not want to be:
Quick and ahead of His plans,
Slow to follow His plans, orTo the right or left of His plans.
"God, remind us daily how to be in the center of Your will and mighty power!"
It is fierce out there...
