"The Full Armor of God"

Ephesians 6:10-18, NIV:

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 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. 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. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 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..."

So today resolve to put on the full Armor of God, for "the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world" (1 John 4:4, NIV). Trust in the One who is in you. Ask Him into your heart and trust Him for your every need. God is faithful and He will deliver you and set you free.

Dear Lord, please be my shield of protection. Give me the courage to put on the full Armor of God and to trust You with my every need. Please give me the wisdom and the courage to claim the victory I have in You. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
