![]() Early this morning before school, my son went out in the rain to take the dog out. When he came in a little while later, he held up two soaked sneakers for me to see. “Look what happened to my shoes,” he said with a bit of surprise in his tone. “Hmmm,” I said, thinking how I could best state the obvious without being confrontational, “you should have worn boots.” These were his school shoes, and both he and I knew he was in for a soggy day. Would you go out into a yard full of mud without your boots? How about a blizzard without your coat, hat and gloves? Or, what if you were a football player – would you face those muscle-bound giants without your helmet, shoulder pads or yikes! — your athletic cup? Click here to read more on this Christian blog ...

Yes, this is so true. We are in a battle everyday, but we "are victors through our Lord Jesus Christ!" I am thankful to be reminded today thorugh your message about where our battle lies. Thus, I will be ready today to recognize the enemy and put him under my feet in Jesus name. 4/14/2012 08:12:33 am
Thanks for your comment, Rena! Yes, you are right, we are victors. So easy to forget this though isn't it? Or, to not really know about it at all. I hope others will come to a better knowledge of spiritual warfare through this post. So happy to have you reading!!

A great reminder that we ARE in a battle. In fact, we are SOLDIERS. How often should we suit up? At least daily. Some days, more often. Thanks for your writing, which often hits me right where I need it! 4/17/2012 09:35:49 am
Your right Sharon we are soldiers -- and soldiers have to wear their armor to protect themselves. I like that you said we should suit up daily. We often do it in the morning over here. But I read something with one of my daughters recently that said to wear your armor even when going to bed! Sounds good to me. Anytime is a good time to refresh! I'm so glad my post touched you! Thanks for dropping a comment my way. Comments are closed.
