THE RIGHT ARMOR
“But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.”
– 1 THESSALONIANS 5:8
God sees us in our need, saves us from our sins, and puts us on the right path. Our life changes for the better. We are thankful. But sometimes we get proud. And we begin to feel self-sufficient. And we forget that God is the One who turned our lives around in the first place. We make a mess of things. But God sees us, hears our call for help, redeems us, and puts us on solid ground again. And oftentimes, again!
Rather than live in a cycle of defeat, wouldn’t it be better to remember – to never forget – that God is the source of our salvation and strength?
Today, ask yourself, are you facing life with your own sufficiency? Or are you wearing His armor? God has in Himself ALL the power to defend you, ALL wisdom to direct you, ALL mercy to pardon you, ALL grace to enrich you, ALL righteousness to clothe you, ALL goodness to supply you, and ALL happiness to crown you!
My prayer for this month:
LORD, I ACKNOWLEDGE MY NEED FOR YOU. YOU ARE MY STRENGTH AND SALVATION. HELP ME TO WALK HUMBLY WITH YOU. AMEN.
