Good Morning!

 

What will you be wearing today?                (text message:  Ephesians 6: 11 - 18)

 

I am still talking about the "armor of God", and we have already found our "belt" and our "vest", so now let's put on our "shoes"!  Verse 15 tells us that we are supposed to make sure that our feet are shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace" . . . the word "gospel" means GOOD NEWS!  The word "Peace" means freedom from "fear, anxiety, stress, irritation and agitation, etc".  If ever there was a time that the enemy tries to put "all of the above" on us, it is during Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays!  He wants us to focus on the "season" instead of the "reason for the season"!

 

Now is the time to put your "shoes of Peace on, along with the rest of the "armor"!  If our feet are shod with PEACE, then that means we can "WALK in Peace" with every step we take, and can also BRING "good news and Peace" to the people that we come in contact with!  It means that we can  have the "PEACE that passeth all understanding" (Philippians 4:7).  So, remember this ~~~ as you are making all of your "preparations" for the Holidays, be sure that your "feet are shod with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace"!  Simply put ~~~~ Prepare to be "peaceful", instead of being "stressful"!  Let me add this ~~~ these "shoes" are to be put on EVERY DAY . . . not just during the Holidays!   

 

I will not be sending out any Encouragements next week . . . enjoy this time with your family, and I will be back with you on Monday, December 01!
