The armor of God is not something we put on after the battle starts, but before it begins. Ephesians 6 reminds us that the Christian life is spiritual warfare. Truth guards the mind, faith extinguishes fiery darts, and the Sword of the Spirit anchors us in God’s Word. Before you step into today, make sure you are clothed in more than confidence; make sure you are clothed in Christ. “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11).
