Have you ever seen those asbestos suits firefighters wear? Those things are really something! Along with the oxygen tanks, masks, gloves, boots, etc., these incredible suits allow these brave men and women to actually enter burning buildings. Something they wouldn’t dream of without the proper attire. It’s funny though, many Christians will attempt to take on something far more dangerous than a burning building without the slightest thought of preparedness. They’ll often run right into the devil’s lair completely unarmed!
“Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore, put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:11-17
And remember, even highly trained and fully-suited firefighters never work alone!
In Christ,
