Standing Firm Righteousness
Today's Reading: Ephesians 6:10-20
Devotional: Our sermon series is about "living right when the world has gone left." Today's reading in Ephesians provides us with a powerful image of how to stand firm in righteousness amidst a world that often opposes God's ways. Paul describes the armor of God, equipping us for spiritual battle.
As you read, consider each piece of armor described. Which piece do you most need to "put on" today? Perhaps you need the belt of truth to combat lies you've been believing, or the shield of faith to ward off doubts. Remember, this armor isn't just for defense - it equips us to actively advance God's kingdom. How can you use the sword of the Spirit - God's word - to bring light and truth to your sphere of influence today?
