Ephesians 6:10-11 New
International Version
“… be strong in the Lord and in his mighty
power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against
the devil’s schemes.”
There is no doubt that if you are
trying to do that which is Godly and right in this life the enemy of your soul
will come against you. If you are doing nothing for the Kingdom of God then you
are no threat to the devil, but if you ARE, then be forewarned; you are a
threat to the forces of evil and will be tried and tested. I believe quite
literally in what we read in the beginning of the Book of Job. Satan must come
before God and request permission to come against believers. If it were not so
then how could God be all-powerful? There would be something out of His
control. I don’t believe that to be true. God provides for us armor, as it
were, to ward off such attacks from the devil. We are able to stand tall in the
face of any attack if we use those weapons that are readily at our disposal.
In
the coming days I will be looking at each piece of armor that God provides for
us as believers. Suffice it to know at this time that if we trust in and rely
on God as our provider and sustainer in this life, we shall not fall and can
withstand ANY attack from the enemy. Trust in God for all things and you will
never be disappointed or turned aside. You may count on that for the scriptures
declare it to be so. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
