Armor All

Isn't it amazing how different you can feel from one day to the next?

Happy, uplifted and on top of the world one day. You love life and everyone in it.

Down, beaten up and ready to escape. You aren't "feelin' the love".

The past couple of days, I felt like I was getting darts thrown at me from every direction. And they were hitting me!

So many that I began thinking, "Oh, come on." Like Kristie says, "For real!"

Someone recently reminded me "you must be living right!"

That has brought me much comfort.

This scripture has also constantly come to mind:

Ephesians 6:12 (New International Version)

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.


I'm putting on my protection today. The kind that we are instructed to put on daily. I admit, I must be lacking.



Ephesians 6:10-19

The Armor of God

10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

19Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.



How can you go wrong with that?
