Sunday Substance
I am enjoying Sunday with my family. Here's hoping you're doing the same. Just wanted to share what is encouraging me today. I pray that you too will find substance in the Word as you look forward to the week to come.
Eph 6:10-17 (NIV) ...Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, 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.

Hey, Toni - 'take up the shield of faith' is my favorite part of that reading. It's a powerful shield.
Glad you're enjoying your Sunday. Mine has been especially restful. Once you're back into blog-mode - Tag! You're it!
