Your Daily Hazmat Suit

Many jobs require some sort of protective clothing or gear to keep the employee from harm. This can range from gloves, hardhats, masks, to entire suits that are chemical or fire retardant.

Well, Bob used an illustration in his lesson the other night that reminds us that as a Christian we are to put on the Armor of God every day so we can withstand against the fiery darts and wiles of the devil. It dawned on me that this is God's hazmat suit for us! We are to protect ourselves from this world and from Satan's attacks. He will use people, music, work place, situations, trials, and even the grocery store as a form of attack. When we wear our Armor of God we can withstand the attacks. 

For those who do not know what the Armor is...

1. have your loins girt about with truth (the truth of God's Word)

2. the breastplate of righteousness (live right to have a good testimony)

3. your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace (be ready to witness to others about salvation)

4. the shield of faith (standing strong in your beliefs to withstand against wickedness)

5. the helmet of salvation (protected by the blood of Jesus)

6. the sword of the Spirit (God's Word)

7. Prayer

You can't just put on one piece of the armor or hazmat suit and think you can stand. It says "and having done all, to stand". 

Put on your daily hazmat suit before you begin each day. I think you will find life goes better when you do.
