STANDING STRONG IN CHRIST

 

Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Eph. 6:10-11 (NIV)

 

Today's Scripture & Insight:

Ephesians 6:10-20

 

                    Recently, my mom gave me a play-by-play of a surprising confrontation she saw on a live webcam feed from a watering hole in Africa. The Gemsbok, a large antelope, has horns that can be more than two feet long, making it a formidable animal that doesn’t seem to scare easily. That is, unless it comes across a group of brave and rowdy ostriches.

           The lead ostrich, which was taller than its foes, shook its large feathers, roared, and stomped toward three Gemsbok, causing them to flee.

           “I guess they didn’t realize how powerful their horns are,” I said to my mom.

           Believers in Jesus can forget the power we have when faced with attacks from our spiritual enemy, Satan. We have the Holy Spirit who lives inside us (Romans 8:11 – see verse below) and the armor of God to help us. “Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes” (Ephesians 6:11). Satan wants to challenge our belief in God’s Word, question our identity in Christ, and tempt us to sin.

 

Romans 8:11

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

 

           But we can stand strong because God’s armor includes “the belt of truth,… the breastplate of righteousness,… the shield of faith,… the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (see the below verses Ephesians 6:14-17).

Ephesians 6:14-17

New King James Version (NKJV)

¹⁴ Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, ¹⁵ and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; ¹⁶ above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. ¹⁷ And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

 

           When the enemy attacks us with feelings of fear, condemnation, or despair, let’s remember we’re God’s children and are well equipped to stand strong.
