"Travel (2)" for Saturday, 13 May 2017 from Deaf Devo of Deaf Missions in Council Bluffs, Iowa, United States with the Bible Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, grow powerful in union with the Lord, in union with his mighty strength! 11 Use all the armor and weaponry that God provides, so that you will be able to stand against the deceptive tactics of the Adversary. 12 For we are not struggling against human beings, but against the rulers, authorities and cosmic powers governing this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm. 13 So take up every piece of war equipment God provides; so that when the evil day comes, you will be able to resist; and when the battle is won, you will still be standing. 14 Therefore, stand! Have the belt of truth buckled around your waist,[Ephesians 6:14 Isaiah 11:5] put on righteousness for a breastplate,[Ephesians 6:14 Isaiah 59:17] 15 and wear on your feet the readiness that comes from the Good News of shalom.[Ephesians 6:15 Isaiah 52:7] 16 Always carry the shield of trust, with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the Evil One. 17 And take the helmet of deliverance;[Ephesians 6:17 Isaiah 59:17] along with the sword given by the Spirit, that is, the Word of God; 18 as you pray at all times, with all kinds of prayers and requests, in the Spirit, vigilantly and persistently, for all God’s people.
--------I always check to see what the weather will be like when I travel. It is usually hot all year where I live. But when I visit my family in another part of the country, it may be cold. I need to be prepared for cold weather by taking a sweater, coat and gloves with me.
In life we experience all kinds of problems. The devil is always trying to tempt us to disobey God. In our Bible verses, Paul told the Christians in Ephesus how to be prepared to fight the devil. Paul says, "Wear God's armor so that you can fight against the devil's clever tricks" (verse 11b).
Paul continues to list what we should have so we can be prepared. We should be truthful and live right. We should have the Good News of peace and be strong in our faith. And we should accept God's salvation and depend on His Word. Wear God's armor today. Then you will be able to stand strong against the devil and his tricks.
"That is why you need God's full armor. Then on the day of evil, you will be able to stand strong. And when you have finished the whole fight, you will still be standing."[Ephesians 6:13]
PRAYER: God, thank You for helping me fight against the devil. In Jesus' name. Amen.
