Jesus
is our Armor of Protection.
A lieutenant
in the United States Army and his buddy were on a far-off battlefront and were
sent out on an important mission. When
the enemy discovered them, the lieutenant faced them saying to himself, “Lord,
I’m in Your hands.” As he reached for
his carbine, a shot from the enemy struck him in the breast, knocking him to
the floor. His partner, thinking he was
dead, grabbed his carbine and began to blast away with both his gun and the gun
of his friend. He received three bullet
wounds, but when the fighting was over, not one enemy soldier was left
standing. To his amazement, the
lieutenant was not dead. The force of
the bullet had struck his breast and had stung him severely, but he was
alive. Wondering how he survived, the
lieutenant reached into his pocket located over his heart and pulled out a
Bible. The bullet had gone through the
books of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges,
Ruth, I & II Samuel, I & II Kings, I & II Chronicles, Ezra,
Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalms, and had stopped on Proverbs 21:31, “The horse is prepared against the day of
battle: but safety is of the Lord.”
What to do:
✞Put on the armor of God
daily.
✞Use your offensive weapons
as well - God’s Word and prayer.
