I’ve always been fascinated by Paul’s description of the Full Armor of God from Ephesians 6:10-20. It’s a captivating passage that carefully catalogs the strength that God has given us as armor to protect and prepare a soldier for battle.
The Belt of Truth
The Breastplate of Righteousness
The Shoes of Peace
The Shield of Faith
The Helmet of Salvation
The Sword of the Spirit
The armor captures our imagination, but the verbs need to capture our attention! As vital as the armor is, it just doesn’t work if you don’t fasten it on, put it on, strap them on, and take them up!

first question shouldn’t be about God’s provision, but our preparation. Have
we, as Paul says in Ephesians 6:13, done all to stand firm?
