“Therefore put on the
full armor 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. Stand firm then…”
Ephesians 6:13-14a
Did you know that
when you put on the full armor of God and
stand firm that you
are standing in very good company?
What do I mean?
Take a look at these
scriptures:
Psalm 33:11
“But the plans of the
Lord stand
firm forever,
the purposes of his heart through all
generations.”
Psalm 89:2
“I will declare that
your love stands firm forever,
that you have established your faithfulness
in heaven itself.”
So as I stand firm in
the Lord it is as if I am shoulder to shoulder
with His purposes and
His love!
I suppose there are
lots of things you and I could surround ourselves with but how about having His
purposes on one side and His love on the other.
What a three-stranded
cord that is!
But there is even
more…
Exodus 14:13
“Moses answered the
people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the
deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will
never see again.”
I can see His deliverance
as I stand
firm!
So dumb question –
Why wouldn’t you want
to put on the full armor of God and stand firm?
?
