Putting on the Armor of God

Good evening everyone,
I know it has been some time since I posted anything on our blog, but now school has started up you will see more and more posts published. We are studying Bible Road Trip for school this year and one of the weekly assignments are to post a blog entry on what we learned this week. Kiddo, aka Duck has written her first in a series of articles to blog today so I will share with you what she wrote about.

 

Putting on the Armor of God

Psalm 119:10-12

 I seek you with all my heart;
    do not let me stray from your commands.
 I have hidden your word in my heart
    that I might not sin against you.
 Praise be to you, Lord;
    teach me your decrees.

      We can not have God in our hearts unless we know His word by heart. If we don’t know what He has to tell us than how can we back ourselves up during trials or conflicts? Paul uses an example in Ephesians 6:17 ‘’ Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God.’’ What good would a knight be without a sword? Kind of useless, and unable to defend, right? Well, as Christians we should know and have memorized at least most of what God has to say, or at a minimum know where to find it in the Bible. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 13 that we should not only hear ‘’The Word’’ but understand it as well. We should be able to share with others what we learned because we not only heard or read it, but we understood what it said.
