The Armor of God
Daily devotional
Scripture:
âPut on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devilâs schemes.â â Ephesians 6:11
Reflection:
As Christians, we face a daily spiritual battle, and we need to put on the full armor of God. By doing that, we will be firm against the devil's attacks. The devil is always trying to destroy our lives and attack us, but God didnât leave us defenseless; He gave us armor so we can be equipped to stand firm. We need to put on the armor of God daily to stand against the devil's schemes.
The spiritual battle is real; itâs not fiction. For us to go into that battle, we need to equip ourselves with the full armor. It can't be partial; it needs to be full. In that battle, being full of the armor of God is important. A soldier needs to use it completely; it canât lack a part because that part is important to attack or to defend. If he doesnât use it, he will leave a gap for the enemy to attack in that part that is not covered by the armor, or he will not attack because he doesn't have that part that is used to attack.
Application:
Reflect today on how you are putting on the armor of God every day.
Prayer:
God, thank You for this devotional and for this time that I can read Your Word and meditate on it. I ask You to help me apply this in my life and to be equipped by Your armor every day. That is what I pray in the name of Jesus, Amen!
