We have our armor. Belt, shoes, shield, helmet and sword. We are ready for battle. Each and every day we must clothe ourselves. Our days get busy and we might overlook putting our belt of truth on, or not take our sword with us because its hard to open the word of God daily. Sisters, there isn't a day that goes by that we are not attacked in one way or the other. We have been given the full armor of God, it's up to us to put it on!
Continue reading on into verse 18 and it gets better. God equips us with one more weapon, the weapon of prayer. The Message version reads, " In the same way, prayer is essential in this ongoing warfare. Pray hard and long. Pray for your brothers and sisters. Keep your eyes open. Keep each others spirits up so that no one falls behind or drops out".
This verse is full of good news! It tells me that we aren't alone either! We are not a one woman army. Each of us that gets ready with Gods armor is heading into battle together! Sisters, pray hard and long! We have to stay alert and pray for others so that no one is left behind! Guard yourself in all that the Lord has given us, carry (and use) the sword which is the word of God, stay alert and remain in prayer, and the evils of this world have no chance. Each morning when we each take the time to properly clothe ourselves, I can just hear the devil cursing under his breath! Equip yourselves sisters and prepare for battle!
