The Armour of God

Daily Promises

Blue Letter Bible

April 6, 2010

With him [is] an arm of flesh; but with us [is] the LORD our God to
help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves
upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah. (2 Chronicles 32:8)

In the Old Testament, the Lord always helped His people during times of
war. Today, God still promises to be with us and help us fight our
battles--both physical and spiritual. This is why we are told in
Ephesians 6 to put on the armour of God. This armour is made up of the
belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, sandals of the
preparation of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit or the Word of God. Another
weapon we should use is prayer. Prayer is the way we talk to God and
intercede on behalf of others. It is one of the most, if not the most,
powerful weapon we have. Are you praying always?
