Therefore take up the

We are in a spiritual battle daily. It does not end until we reach the Celestial City, with our Lord Jesus. That is why we have been given His armor for protection. But we must put it on! The devil is real.

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour.

"Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world." (1 Peter 5:8-9)

Paul urged the Ephesians to "put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil" (Eph. 6:11). This protective covering includes truth, righteousness, readiness, faith, salvation, and prayer (vv.14-18). Although these spiritual resources guard us each day, we need to remember them when disaster strikes and the enemy tries to undermine our confidence in God's love and care.

Use God's spiritual armor! Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand" (v.13).

When Satan launches his attack,
We must take heart and pray;
If we submit ourselves to God,
He'll be our strength and stay.

God provides the armor, but we must put it on!

"ABOVE ALL, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked....and the sword of the Spirit, which is the WORD OF GOD." (Eph 6:16-17)- cross
