[SUP]When I was growing up my mom would read out of her bible every morning while my sister and I were eating breakfast and one of the topics we studied was the Armor of God and she made sure that we put it on before we left for school. I thank her every day for everything she taught me and one day when I am married with children I want to do the same for them.
I was actually wondering how many of you actually put it on each and every day. I was always taught that it was so important to check my heart before putting it on. How important is wearing the armor and do you pray that God will direct your every move in your day and to be protecting you? What does it mean to you?
Ephesians 6:10-20 NKJV
10 [/SUP]Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. [SUP]11 [/SUP]Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [SUP]12 [/SUP]For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[SUP][a][/SUP] against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. [SUP]13 [/SUP]Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, [SUP]15 [/SUP]and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [SUP]16 [/SUP]above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. [SUP]17 [/SUP]And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; [SUP]18 [/SUP]praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— [SUP]19 [/SUP]and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, [SUP]20 [/SUP]for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
