Each week of devotions throughout our Live Worthy series on Ephesians will be spent on a single chapter. We encourage you to re-read the chapter each day. Additionally, we will focus on a few key verses each day. This week, we will focus on chapter 6 of Ephesians
Read Ephesians 6
Read: Ephesians 6:13-15 “Therefore put on the full armor 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 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.”
Today, we look at the first three pieces of the Armor. The Belt of Truth holds everything together; it reminds us to live a life grounded in God’s truth, not in lies. The Breastplate of Righteousness protects our heart and vital organs; it is the righteousness of Christ that shields us from the devil’s attacks and accusations. The Gospel of Peace on our feet ensures we are ready to move and share the good news, prepared to bring peace to a broken world. These pieces are defensive, protecting us and preparing us for action.
Pray: Father, I put on your armor today. I wrap myself in your truth and trust in the righteousness of Christ to protect my heart. I pray that you would prepare my feet to carry your gospel of peace wherever I go. Amen.
