Therefore take up
the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day,
and having done everything, to stand firm.
Stand therefore,
and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of
righteousness. As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to
proclaim the gospel of peace. With all of these, take the shield of faith, with
which you will be able to quench 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.
Ephesians 6:13-17
He is our Light. He is our Protector.
When we wake every day to start our day,
we are protected by Him. We are
forgiven for the wrongs of yesterday and
we start anew. The armor of God
surrounds us to help others, to speak with a kinder tongue, to act with a
kinder heart. We are not perfect
people but with His armor around us we can walk in God’s light.
At Liberty Lutheran, every step we take reinforces our belief
that we are here to serve others. We stand up and speak up for vulnerable
individuals. It is an honor for so many of us to be an advocate for
individuals. It is what is right and just.
Our faith in God keeps us knowing we need to continue the fight
when the dark days come our way. We
push forward and have faith that His love and light will shine through
even when we feel like we can’t walk
or stand.
Lord, keep us covered in your armor and keep us shielded from
the darkness. Please forgive us and allow us to forgive others who trespass
against us. Let our lives be a reminder to others of the faith we have in You,
and help us to walk in your Light. Amen.
