Therefore,
take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil
day, and having done everything, to stand firm.
Ephesians 6:13 New
American Standard Bible (NASB)
Put on every piece of God’s
armor so that you will be able to resist the enemy, then after the battle you will
still be standing firm. Every piece of God’s armor; salvation, faith,
righteousness, truth, Spirit, and the Gospel. It is there for us to use, but we
need to put it on. That is how we are able to stand firm against the enemy,
that is how we remain standing firm. The first part of putting on God’s armor
is submitting to Him. We cannot wear His armor if we are living in sin. We need
to make our stand on God’s side of the line. We cannot sit on the fence and
expect to stand firm in the battle. It is important to make the most of the
time we have and not waste it. We need to be prepared for battle always by
submitting to God and constantly wearing His armor. That is how we stand, how
we stay standing. Otherwise we will fall. We have to stand in His strength and
fight His way. If we try to do it our way we will fail. What area of your life
do you have a hard time submitting to God? What piece of armor do you not wear
daily? Ask God to help you be ready for battle.
