Blessings Of Being Ready To Face The Day

 

Stand your ground,
 
putting on the belt of truth
 
and the body armor of God’s righteousness.
 
For shoes,
 
put on the peace that comes from the Good News
 
so that you will be fully prepared.
 
In addition to all of these,
 
hold up the shield of faith
 
to stop the fiery arrows of the devil.
 
Put on salvation as your helmet,
 
and take the sword of the Spirit,
 
which is the word of God.
 
Ephesians 6:14-17
 

Blessings of Resistance

 

…we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies,
 
but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world,
 
against mighty powers in this dark world,
 
and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
 
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor
 
so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil.
 
Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.
 
Ephesians 6:13-14
