Put on your armor daily...

In Ephesians 6:10-20 the full armor of God is explained. What it is and why we need it is written right there, but how serious do we take it on any given day. It tells us we need to put it on daily because our struggles are going to come at us daily. And God knew our struggles may appear to come from flesh and blood (people or the world), but He tells us they are really struggles the enemy brings into our life. Some we can see coming, while others seem to kick our feet right out from under us. However, if we have prepared ourselves daily, we can be ready for whatever battle comes our way. Which is the exact reason for this "set of instructions" in Ephesians. More of God's wisdom shared with us from God's Word. If you fill your life daily with God's Truth, Righteousness, Peace, Faith, Word, Salvation and Prayer it is so much harder for the enemy to take you down. Think about it like this, it is hard for your car to run out of gas if you keep your tank full. Yes, you may experience a flat on the way to work, but you can fix that and get back on the road because your tank is still full. But if you run out of gas....your stuck until you put more in. How many times in life have you felt "stuck" with no answers? We watch some people go through some tragedy, storm or trail that you think will completely take them down, but it doesn't. It make shake them, rock them a little, but before you know it they are praising God again and thanking Him for the goodness in their life. This is probably because they had "their tank full", were prepared spiritually for the battle and knew exactly who to turn to in the midst of the crisis. God wants us to walk through life prepared....that is why He gave us a way to be!
