God’s Protection – Don’t Leave Home Without It

Before describing exactly what God has provided to protect us, Paul first tells why it is so very important for all of God’s people. Before going into what it is, he tells us about the nature of the attacks that we are up against (deceptive strategies). Before telling us about

the pieces of God’s armor, he warns us who the real invisible enemy is. Before all of the above, Paul tells us to put it on (don’t leave home without it).

After all of this, Paul goes through and lists out each and every one of those pieces of armor telling why they are

important for us to wear every day.

I looked carefully at that list several times (and advise you to do so as well). It’s a list that talks about trusting in Him and leaning not on our own understanding. Have you put on the mask that God has provided for us today?

The Whole Armor of God
10 A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. 12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and

authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places. - Ephesians 6:10-12
