She uses Ephesians 6:13-18 as her head-to-toe guide: helmet of salvation (guard the mind); breastplate of righteousness (cover and protect the heart); belt of truth (buckled at the waist w/ God's truth) and feet shod with the gospel of peace. She then takes up the shield of faith (to ward off attacks) and the sword of the Spirit (word of God) as she steps out to begin the day. What a great beginning!
I had never considered "light" as part of armor unit until reading Jesus Always (2/21)
Metaphorically, light is a necessary covering to "put on." Believers receive the light at salvation. Yet, sometimes in our lives we forget to clothe ourselves with His light. The light which dispels darkness.
Darkness is prevalent in our world. It can blind us or at least dim our vision so that we no longer see clearly. How easy it is to fall into the "worldliness" that surrounds us. His light is our protection from said world. (John 17:17)
God is light, in Him there is no darkness at all. (1 John 1:7)
Come, O house of Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord. (Isaiah 2:5)
I choose the One who is Life and gives light.
I choose the "Light of the World" as my armor of defense for today. (John 8:12)
I choose the "Light of the World" as my armor of defense for today. (John 8:12)
