Or fear the storm that rages;
For calm and sure, I stand secure

Time For The Armor
August 7, 2011

I discovered rather quickly that a young boy quoting Scripture in a children’s program at church didn’t know much about the Bible. He was quoting Ephesians 6:17 from our study on spiritual armor: “Take . . . the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”

When he tried quoting the reference, he said, “I didn’t think I needed to memorize the numbers, since that’s just the time of day.” That’s what he thought the numbers meant since it was close to 6:17 p.m. at the time! I smiled, opened my Bible, and showed him that the numbers refer to the chapter and verse.

While knowing the Bible reference is helpful, hiding God’s Word in our hearts is what is truly important (Ps. 119:11). Memorizing Scripture allows us to have it in mind so we can ward off Satan’s attacks (Eph. 6:10-18). For instance, when the devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness, Christ withstood him by quoting the Scriptures (Matt. 4:1-11). Likewise, when we are tempted to disobey God, we can recall what we’ve learned and choose to obey. We can also share the teachings of the Word with others to encourage them to trust Him too.

No matter what time of day it is, we should always take the spiritual armor of the Word of God with us.

For Further Study
What specific temptations do you face? Look in a
concordance in the back of a Bible for verses that can
guide you in those situations. Review them often.

No evil can penetrate the armor of God.

Read: Ephesians 6:10-18

Take . . . the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. —Ephesians 6:17

Bible in a year:
Psalms 72-73; Romans 9:1-15

Thank you Meg, and all who have pinged me to wonderful posts. I'm missing most but am grateful to be thought of. Just sending some love and hugs to all. There are so many going through trying times and I feel the pain each time I read of it. No need to reply, just know I care.

Thank you Meg, for your very nice opening this morning. And thanks to all you lovely people for the beautiful graphics and wonderful scriptures today.

I picked out my graphic very early this morning and then when I decided to invite Greg and Gwen for lunch, I had to get busy. They had intended to stop at Arby’s and bring lunch but since I had put a meatloaf in the oven, all I had to do is think of my side dishes. It worked out good and they acted like they loved it and kept complimenting me (which I loved) of course....LOL! I invited Barry but he already had plans for the day.

By the time they left, I was hurting and couldn’t wait to lay down. When I woke up, I felt so much better! It was a good day all in all. By the way on my graphic, it already had that lavender border on 3 sides and I didn’t know what to do with it....LOL! Barry and I updated my Adobe Player and now I can do fine on Photobucket. Sure was glad to be able to get to my graphics there easier!!
