Verse of the Day

Stand against the enemy from Ephesians 6:11

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

Get Ready

Would a doctor begin an operation without surgical gear? Would a firefighter run into a burning building without a protective suit? Would a soldier head into a battle without armor?

With the exclusion of extreme situations, of course they wouldn't.

In fact, not only do they spend years preparing for such moments, but they also learn to protect themselves from harm. if they aren't prepared, they cannot do their job.

Writing to the believers in Ephesus from a Roman prison, the apostle Paul said:

"Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil."

Every day, we face battles that we can't fully see. And if we're not prepared, we cannot do our job of loving God and people well.

God's armor is readily available, but we must make the intentional decision to dress ourselves for battle.

When we intentionally dress ourselves in the armor of God, we can be ready for the attacks that will inevitably come our way.

Be encouraged

As you face resistance, remember who you are in Jesus. May you walk closely with Him, and take your stand against evil.

Share your faith

When we choose to put on the armor of God, we're not only protecting ourselves - we are then prepared to fight for others as well.
