Put On
Birthday suit...
The colour varies
Chocolate to marshmallow,
Texture changes
Smoothness to wrinkles
Baby soft to hard crusts,
freckles and follicles,
DNA inheritance
on display.
As you exit the
house, flat, bedroom
for today,
Will it be
Birthday suit or armour?
Starting Thoughts: Are we ready for the day? With the connection and motivation of Christ in our hearts, we then need to put on the full armour of God to equip ourselves with the tools that we need. It is daily armour, for a lifetime of love in making disciples of others.
Bible Verses: “Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.”
1 Corinthians 16:13-14
11 Put on the full armour of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Ephesians 6:11-18 New International Version (NIV)
