Armor (Protection) of God

Ephesians 6: 10-17

"A final word" - Be strong in the Lord and in His Mighty Power. Put on all of God's Amor so that  we will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil".

"Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and God will give you light."

Stand firm then, with the Belt Of Truth buckled around your waist, with the Breastplate Of Righteousness in place and with your feet fitted with the readiness, Shoes Of 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, and pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.

Fruit of the Spirit
Live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature..
sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, envy, drunkenness.. But the fuit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires.

Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.
May God's love and Protection be with you, now and until end of time.
Amen.

Wonders of the Lord

Take note of God's Wonders

When you feel tired, stressed and have unfulfilled desires and dreams, go outside take a walk, smell and pick a flower, as there's nothing that let a person relax so quickly, as being outside and feel at peace in nature.

If you are a worrier, pray about the things that make you stress,  and desires that you might have.
It is impossible to run around with sky-high stress levels if you make a point to focus on the beautiful and wonder of the nature around you and appreciate it, each day.
If you are previledge to stay close to a coast, go and walk on the beach, feel the warm sand between your toes, the sun on your face, the love God is showing upon you, embrace it. Take note of the small things in nature, the delicate grass along the side of the road, the insects, each flower is a miracle and experience all the greatness of God's hand and His care for you. He created everything for you to enjoy.
When you look at all God's wonders, you cannot help become aware of His might and majesty and you will feel the peace inside you - and the very fact that God is there, that He loves you, will cause your stress levels to abate.
Come close to God and nature and humble yourself before the Lord and He will lift you up in honor.

Lord, thank You for Your wonders that I can see around me every day.
I love You.
