The night is about over,
dawn is about to break....
Get out of bed and get dressed*
Brush your teeth
Drink you coffee, tea or smoothie
because
We can’t afford to waste a minute, must not squander these precious daylight hours in frivolity and indulgence, in sleeping around and dissipation, in bickering and grabbing everything in sight.*
But
there is one more thing
that has to be done
before you do the next thing...
Don’t loiter and linger, waiting until the very last minute.
Dress yourselves in Christ, and be up and about! *Romans 13:12-14
Put on
Jesus
All of Him
And
His Protective Coat~
...with the belt of truth buckled around your waist,
with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace..*.
And
take up the shield of faith,
with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation
and the
sword of the Spirit,
which is the Word of God.*
His Armor
when
Put on
enables you to
be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.*
Therefore
put on
the full Armor of God,
so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground. *Ephesians 6
to
Put Off
the arrows
that come your way
to steal your
peace
joy
hope
love.
Put On
His Clothes~
Don't leave home without them
not only on this
40th Day of our Journey
but on the
41st Day
and the next day and the next...
as we continue
to walk with the One who wants to walk with us
beyond the 40th Day,
so
We stand in grace (Romans 5:2).
We stand in the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1).
We stand in courage and strength (1 Corinthians 16:13).
We stand in faith (2 Corinthians 1:24).
We stand in Christian liberty (Galatians 5:1).
We stand in Christian unity (Philippians 1:27).
We stand in the Lord (Philippians 4:1).
We should stand perfect and complete in the will of God (Colossians 4:12).
