In my studying this past week, I read again about the "whole armor of God." This scripture always bring to mind knights, arrayed in their protective (and heavy, bulky, difficult to wear) armor, entering into a joust (often to the death). The armor of God is not heavy, bulky, or difficult to wear, but as all things with God, the burden of wearing His armor is light and easy to wear. It is even more important than the armor worn by the knights of old, for they battled only for their physical life. We are engaged in a war for our spiritual life while we walk upon the earth in mortality.
My challenge for the week is to read of the whole armor (Ephesians 6:11-18, D&C 27:15-18) and take upon yourselves this armor:
Loins girt about with truth
Breastplate of righteousness
Feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace
Shield of faith
Helmet of salvation
Sword of the Spirit which is the word of God
There is great joy in wearing His armor.
Love, Mom
