The Strength of The LORD
Our relationship with God should be a proactive one. He is our defender and has provided us with an arsenal of heavenly weapons, but we need to pick them up and use them. A soldier at war doesn't go into battle empty handed. He goes armed. But it's pointless if he is armed but has no idea how to apply or use his weapon. He needs to read the manual. Our Bible is both our manual and our weapon- "God is strong, and He wants you strong. So take everything He has set out for you, well made weapons of the best materials. Put them to use so you'll be able to stand up to everything that the Devil throws your way... Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Truth, righteousness, peace, faith, and salvation are more than just words. Learn how to apply them. You'll need them throughout your life. God's Word is an indispensable weapon. In the same way, prayer is essential in this warfare." - Ephesians 6:10-11, 13-17 (Message Bible)
Let's put on the armour God has kindly provided us so that we can face each day with no fear and a joyous understanding of Whose we are! :)
