Many of you are gearing up for tomorrow, the opening day of the general firearms deer season. Keep in mind that nine hunters died during the 2008-2009 deer season in Virginia alone. And with that, let me remind each of you to always wear your blaze orange hat and/or vest, wear your safety harness system if you get in a tree stand, and keep that safety on until until you have confirmed your target and it is time to shoot. I can remember a few experiences where I wish I had been wearing 'armor' to protect me from falls or from buckshot passing overhead.
Well, the bible urges us to daily put on the "full armor of God" in order to defend ourselves against the enemy, Satan, who seeks to destroy us.
Ephesians 6:11-13 advises to "put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm" (NASB).
Yes, there is an ongoing battle for your soul between God and Satan. Are you even aware of this spiritual warfare? If you think that Satan is not attacking you, then he already has you right where he wants you. Flee now, and put on the armor of God! - GE
