Most of us don't wear battle armor today. Yet it is commanded in God's Word to appropriate for ourselves the weaponry to protect ourselves, or else we are sitting ducks in conflicts which we cannot avoid. The Bible commands us, with all urgency, to "put on the whole armor of God." What is this? What does this really mean? And we must be completely armed: one or two pieces won't do. The time to "put it on" is before the battle begins, not during. And we are already on enemy turf!
This week as we continue through the Book of Isaiah, the Armor of God that Paul writes about in Ephesians 6 becomes very relevant to the discussion.
