When a football player suits up, he knows that his equipment is designed to protect him in battle against a dangerous opponent.
As
followers of Christ, we also face a dangerous foe—a spiritual enemy who seeks our downfall and
destruction. Fortunately, our Lord has provided us with
protection, and He challenges us to suit
up for spiritual battle.

Take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. —Ephesians 6:13 |
In
Ephesians 6:13,
we read, “Take
up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the
evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Paul then describes
our armor—helmet, breastplate, shield, sword, belt, and shoes. These
pieces of spiritual equipment are effective only if we put them on and
use them—even if they might
feel uncomfortable at first. Faithfulness in the Word (v.17), in prayer
(v.18), and in witness
(vv.19-20) are critical to making our armor feel like a part of us.
So
suit up! The battle is on!
Be not weary, Christian warrior,
Buckle on thine armor tight; Be ye strong and face the battle In the power of His might. —Iler
God’s armor is tailor-made for you,
but you must put it on.  |

En el mundo acelerado en el que vivimos, es fácil quedar atrapado en las redes sociales, los juegos, la música y todas las distracciones que nos ofrece la vida moderna. Pero como cristianos, es esencial que recordemos este versículo: Clama a mí y te responderé; te daré a conocer cosas grandes e inaccesibles que tú no sabes. (Jeremías 33:3) La tecnología nos permite estar conectados con el mundo, pero a veces nos olvidamos de conectarnos con Dios. Él siempre está dispuesto a escuchar nuestras oraciones, responder nuestras preguntas y revelarnos maravillas que van más allá del entendimiento humano. La oración es nuestra conexión directa con Dios. Conectarnos con Dios no significa abandonar nuestra vida cotidiana, sino que lo incluimos en todos los aspectos de la misma. Al comenzar el día con oración, dar gracias por sus bendiciones, buscar su guía en tiempos de duda y compartir su mensaje de amor y esperanza con los demás, estamos verdaderamente conectados con Dios. A medida que bus...
