Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-20

Ephesians 6:10-11 (NKJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

What is armor? Armor is used to protect the body during battle.

God says to put on the WHOLE armor, meaning we shouldn’t leave out one little part or piece of it. Because if we do, we can get badly hurt or even killed.

If we went into battle and we forgot our helmet, our head would get damaged. If we forgot our breast plate, our chest would get damaged or we would be killed. etc.

We need to have it all on to be fully protected while in battle.

If we forget to put on a piece of God’s armor, chances are we will get attacked in that area, for the enemy will spot that it is not protected. That lack of armor is his way in. He will aim for it and hope to bring destruction, and ultimately take us out.

Ephesians 6:14-16 (NKJV) 14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

When we get up each day, we need to know the truth and stand firm in it. We need to practice what’s right, in spite of what our flesh wants to do.

We need to be alert and ready at any time to share His love, while keeping our eyes and ears open to Him. Walking in the steps He has for us is essential to fighting off the fiery darts that come our way.

We will win if we are tight with God, the Armor is on and active in our lives.
