Paul wrote that the days are evil, therefore, the Armor of God is not a contingency plan but a necessity. The goal of the armor is not to attack or conquer but to stand. Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

The belt of truth is our identity in Christ. Putting on the belt of truth is our Savior’s own belt. When the lies of the enemy come, we can stand knowing what is truth. The Word of God is truth.

What are you using to protect your heart? God has given us His righteousness. We don’t need to trust in ourselves to stand.

In the midst of uncertainty, we can have peace with God and of God. Peace in the finished work of Jesus and our standing with him, and peace no matter the storms that life throws at us. Bring your troubles to God who cares.

Faith isn't in God giving us the outcome we want but trust in God no matter the outcome. The shield of faith is the extinguisher of the arrow from the enemy. When the arrows attack, will you bring gasoline or a fire extinguisher?
