Journey Through Ephesians: The Armor of God

Journey Through Ephesians Banner

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.  Ephesians 6:10-18

I heard this song for the first time in church yesterday morning.  It seemed so appropriate following my reading of the armor of God last week.  It is all because Jesus is alive that this armor of God is available to me.

Journey Through Ephesians – Authority, Obedience, and Reward

Journey Through Ephesians Banner

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart, rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man, knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a slave or free.  Ephesians 6:5-8

This week, I have just some random thoughts from this passage…  I couldn’t wrap it up nice and neat.  So here it is, just thrown out that for you to digest:

Obey authority as if I were obeying God.

Remember I’m obeying God, not man.

It’s a heart attitude.

Do good in everything.

God will reward me, but it may not be in the way I expect.

Keep my focus on following God and serving Him.

Journey Through Ephesians – Be Mindful of Every Day

Journey Through Ephesians Banner

Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
Ephesians 5:15-17

The wise vs. the fool.  The fool wastes time and follows his own desires.  The wise man makes the best of every day and seeks God’s will.

How am I using my days?  Am I being wise or foolish with my time?

I need to be mindful of how I spend every day of my life, using them to do God’s will. {<— Click to Tweet}

How are you using your days?
