The full armour

[The Glory Unveiled]

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. ( Ephesians 6:13 NIV )

The day of evil will always come while we live. Nobody plans for it, yet nobody can avoid it. The evil day is like a bonus package given to everyone who enters the world. Although one person’s evil day may differ significantly from another’s, everyone will experience an evil day at some point. Fortunately, for the believer, a provision has been made for that day. This protection against the evil day is the full armor of God. Scripture teaches us that when the evil day comes, we must do everything to stand. We cannot give in or compromise just because it is an evil day. We must resist with all our strength, do everything necessary to stand firm. However, the things we do are merely first aid for safety—the real protection comes from the armor of God. The full armor of God helps us stand our ground on the evil day. In the verses that follow our anchor verse, the Bible lists the components of this armor: the belt of truth around your waist, the breastplate of righteousness for your chest and front area, the readiness of the gospel for your feet, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:14-18). The evil day targets these aspects of our spiritual life, and protecting them helps us stand firm no matter what happens.

Prayer_Bead: Father, thank you for your protection and provisions. As I put on the whole armour, I am shielded to stand firm.
