Today's Passage:  Ephesians 6

When we were in Scotland a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to see several suits of armor.  As we read the passage today, I'm trying to imagine someone fighting in one of those suits...while they must have been well protected, I can't imagine that it was very easy to move.  It also couldn't have been very comfortable inside those suits, as it didn't look they they had much ventilation.  Despite their limitations, armor was the most effective protection they could come up with when faced with battle.

As we read about the armor of God today, our spiritual armor has no such limitations!  If anything, wearing the armor of God makes us more comfortable and move through this world with greater ease.  Our bodies are not designed to fight this world alone...we need the kind of protection that only God can provide.  Fortunately for us, God has thought of everything, from our heads right down to our feet.  God wants to equip us so that we can be ready for the battle ahead!

Why would we choose to clothe ourselves in anything less?
