Sometimes what we call spiritual armor is really the numbness we hope will shield us from being hurt again. But instead of protecting, it insulates us from truth and love, and actually attracts more offense and wounding.
“Put on the whole armor of God.” The language used in Ephesians 6 means to sink into your armor like you’re wrapping yourself in a blanket, or putting on your most comfortable clothes. Your armor isn’t some weird religious concept or ritual, it’s a description of God’s presence in your life, a manifestation of His grace. It protects you from the enemy’s lies, empowers you to be who God sees you as, equips you to accomplish your heart’s desires, and envelops you in His love.
Wear your armor well today.
