Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Today, my world is beautiful -- great weather, wonderful church, loving spouse, great kids, and blessed with all I truly need. But this will change. Life is bound up with mortality. Love is connected with imperfect people. Separation by geographical distance, disagreement, and death are bound to happen to a certain extent. The incredible blessing I have in Christ, however, is that my true and lasting life is hidden with Christ in God. So while things may be good in my life now, they're always vulnerable to being touched by mortality. When Christ comes, they will be gloriously perfect and unstained by evil, death, or decay. Now that's good news!
Bible Verse Of The Day

__________________________
— Ephesians 6:13-18 —
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.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.

Lord, thank you for giving me all I need in order to do battle in your name. In the power of your Spirit, I put on my "armor" — protect my mind and imagination with the helmet of salvation. Focus my thoughts steadily on your love and power. I claim Christ's righteousness as my breastplate, protecting heart and emotions. So that I won't be governed by feelings, wrap your belt of truth around the core of my being to protect me from deception. Guide my steps in the sandals of peace. Set my foot firmly in the good new of your redemption and love for the world, and empower me to stand firm against attack. I raise my shield of faith. Protect me from Satan's arrows as I stand shoulder to shoulder with your army in a wall of opposition against his schemes. I take up the sword of the Spirit. Plant your word deep in my heart in a fresh, exciting way so I will always be ready to deflect and cut down lies with your truth. I proclaim your victory today!

My Prayer...
Holy and Righteous God, thank you so much for your overwhelming and generous grace that saved me from sin. Thank you for Jesus, whose resurrection from the dead insures my resurrection to life with you, and the resurrection reunion that I will have with all those who belong to you. Until that day when I get to praise you face to face, please receive my thanks and praise in Jesus' name. Amen.
