armor

i believe it's time to simplify. there are too many distractions holding our attention for a bit too long these days. the Lord continues to show me new things on a daily basis. He is so faithful. and i believe he is building something in our lives. preparing us. strengthening us. teaching us! broadening our wisdom. our faith is increasing. unholy things are vanishing. holy things are taking their places.

the Holy Spirit is quietly reminding me that time with God doesn't happen through discipline, it happens through romance with Him.

I Peter 5:8, "Be self-controlled and alert, for your enemy, the devil, prowls aroudn like a lion seeking whom he may devour." and he does. we have to remember that the enemy is lurking. be aware. so that we can be ready when he strikes. if we are ready, clothed with the armor of the Almighty GOD, then we won't cowar because we are using His power, His strength, His victory! but so often we forget our armor. and then we sit around bandaging our wounds, wondering what happened, what went wrong. put on the armor of God.
