Your Daily Wardrobe

Thursday, April 25   Your Daily Wardrobe   But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts. Romans 13:14   “Putting on” the armor of God (Ephesians 6:11), while found only in Ephesians, employs imagery found throughout the New Testament: putting on clothing. We do that every morning as we prepare ourselves for the day. We dress ourselves in a manner that will carry us through the day depending on the tasks we have to accomplish.

Recommended Reading: Galatians 3:26-27

While Paul explains in detail what it means to put on the armor of God, we are also told to put on various things that provide similar spiritual protection. We are told to put on “the armor of light” (Romans 13:12), Christ (Galatians 3:27), the “new man” (Ephesians 4:24; Colossians 3:10), “tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering” (Colossians 3:12), and love (Colossians 3:14). In essence, to put on the armor of God is to put on Christ Himself and all His attributes. Living each day in obedience and submission to the Lord Jesus Christ will find us totally protected against “the wiles of the devil” (Ephesians 6:11).             Begin each day by clothing yourself in Christ and His truth. In doing so, you will be clothed in the armor of God.   The reason we must put on the whole armor of God is to withstand evil. Stormie Omartian
