Bible Reading – Ephesians 6 (Friday, 11/19/10).
It has been well-stated that the armor of God each Christian is to clothe himself (herself) with is one that protects only the front. There is no protection for the rear. The reason for this is simple enough: we are to take the fight to the enemy, not run from “him.” Running from the enemy means our backside is exposed and vulnerable. Our front, on the other hand, will be able to take whatever is hurled against us because the armor is fully adequate to protect no matter the weapon utilized. However, when we put on the armor of God there is still a need to ask Him who gives all blessing for that “extra” bit of protection (if you will).
