My life is a battle.
Francois-Marie Arouet de Voltaire (1694-1778, French historian, writer)
Romans 13:12-13
The night is nearly over, and the daylight is near, so let us discard the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us •walk with decency, as in the daylight: not in carousing and drunkenness; not in sexual impurity and promiscuity; not in quarreling and jealousy. (HCSB)
Genesis 1:4 says that “God saw that the light was good, and separated the light from the darkness.” The words of our Lord indicate to us the workings of the “Armor of Light. The Armor will separate us from evil, and lead us to good. In Psalm 43:3, the psalmist asks the Lord to “Send Your light and Your truth; let them lead me. Let them bring me to Your holy mountain, to Your dwelling place.”
You see, in our own strength we cannot follow the command to walk in decency, without quarreling and jealousy. All of these things are natural desires of the flesh, which we will follow, if, we are not dressed in the light. To walk in the deeds of the flesh, is to walk in darkness, no matter how good those things may appear to us.
In Psalm 119:105, the psalmist declares, “Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path.” So plainly speaking The Word of God is the Armor we must be dressed in when we go forth to battle each day in this world. It’s a common mistake made by many Christians that fall in this battle, they forget there is a war going on in this world, and they walk on to the battlefield undressed and empty handed…God’s Blessings.
