Just a note from me about being genuine. Going back to my post on Soldiers In Boxer Shorts - I have my verses on my computer monitor so that I put the armor on every day. Yet, tomorrow is one of those days that I have to make sure I put it on when I wake up - and make sure it's strapped on good.
I have a lot of crap coming at me tomorrow. I need that belt of truth to keep my pants up. I need the breastplate of righteousness to protect my heart. I have to have my boots on to make those ready steps toward the lines of battle - steps I'd rather not take. The shield of faith is something I cannot leave behind. I need it to protect me from the devil and his demons. I have to protect my melon with the helmet of salvation. And the sword of the Spirit - my Bible - it must be in my hand and in my head - open, so it is useful as a weapon.
My brothers are around me - outfitted the same way. Their battles may be similar to mine or they may be very different. But we all have our dragons to slay and our demons to beat down.
This is where it's important for all of us. Standing on the battlefield in our boxers, we'll go down for sure - probably by 9 AM. But fitted with the Armor of God, we'll live to fight another day.
Have a great week.
