What do you see as the armor of God? Not only that how do you put it on?

To me, the armor of God is his protection against the evil one, satan. It is what he gives us to help protect ourselves against the most evil thing in existence.

Have you ever heard of a 30,000-foot view? It is a term that is used in business quite often. It means that you need to look at the bigger picture. It is kind of like the phrase, You can’t see the forest for all the trees. It means that you can’t see the bigger picture because you have been surrounded by details.  If we as people can have a 30,000-foot view what is God’s view? About a 100 million-foot view?

The point is that we don’t always see the bigger picture when it comes to why we should have on God’s armor every day we wake up. 

Over the next couple of weeks, we are going to be talking more in-depth about God’s armor, what we can use it for, and why we need it.

Before we get into the nuts and bolts we need to understand that God is our father. He loves us more than any one person ever could. As a parent that’s hard to believe.  God loves my children more than I do. Doesn’t sound possible, but it is true.  That’s why he gives us his armor every day.

He is fighting a fight for us that we will never understand. The fight against satin. It’s a battle that if we look closely we can see bits and pieces of. Thankfully, he doesn’t throw us into the heat of it. He is protecting us and we don’t even know it.do not

Here is our challenge to you.  Go to Ephesians 6 and read it today.  Think about why God is giving you the armor he is.  Think about what it means to you that he gave you these tools.  Last of all, thank him for being there for you and protecting you from the bigger fight.  Thank him for seeing the bigger picture and allowing you to live the life, you do.
