WHERE IS YOUR ARMOR?
Week 4: Where is your armor?
Scripture:
“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11 NKJV
Devotional:
Do you know what it means to have your armor on? Here is a better question do you currently have your armor on? Think about it……….If the answer is no then I urge, plead, and beg you to put it on! Not having this on is literally like showing up to a gunfight with nothing on and no gun. Basically it’s a setup for you to lose. Remember you have won, but for any fighters (which we all are spiritually) showing up mentally like you have lost, and you will lose. No matter how strong or in this case spiritually strong and sound you are you can still lose.
Now the reason it’s so important to put on the full/ whole armor, it tells us right in the text, is so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. This right away lets us know a couple things that the accuser wants to plot against us. Devil means accuser so the devil wants to prove to God many things but one of the main things is that we are not worthy to God and so he will accuse us any and everything to prove that point to God. But we also have to look at the word wiles as well it means a scheme, a plot, a plan we can’t ignore that the word wile is plural (wiles) which also lets us know there are many schemes, many plots, and many plans that the accuser wants to use against us to make us stumble, or fall, or lose a battle that is already won. He wants to prove to God the point he is trying to make and that is that we as God's people are not worthy.
God is giving us a warning to put on the full armor to protect us always against those plans. So I will ask again do you have your armor on? If you don’t make sure you put it on today and forever.
Reflection:
Is my full armor on? If it’s not, why? Do I even know what the full armor is to protect myself? (Ephesians 6:14-18)
Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father I ask that you would help me to understand how important it is to protect myself and always keep my amor on. Especially when it feels like I am having blow after blow and a bunch of losing battles. God if I don’t know, teach me and show me because I want to do my part in this fight. Thank you for showing me and teaching me. In Jesus name I pray Amen
