During these unique days when we cannot be with you we want you to know that you are loved and missed very much.
Week 8 of our Crown of Beauty study gives us this key verse.
“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith. 1 Peter 5:8-9
During these days of uncertainty Satan wants to discourage us and make us doubt God’s love and care for us. How then do we resist the schemes and lies of Satan?
“Put on the full armor of God so you can stand against the schemes of the devil.” Ephesians 6:10
Let’s get dressed daily in our armor for battle!
The belt of truth: This keeps us from being led astray
The breastplate of righteousness: Our obedience to God
The sandals of peace: Our restful trust in God
The shield of faith: This shields us from the attacks of Satan
The helmet of salvation: The protection of our mind
The sword of the Spirit: The Word of God (the Bible)
Prayer:
Dear Lord, Thank you that you are stronger than the evil one that wants us to doubt your love for us. Help us to daily clothe ourselves and our family members in this battle armor so we can resist the arrows of Satan. Help us to stay grounded in your word of truth.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
The Ladies of Grace Ministry Team is praying for you and loving you from a physical distance but not a heart distance. We are reading the daily scripture calendar along with you and praying for each of you to take courage, fully dressed in the armor of God!
You are loved,
Ladies of Grace Ministry Team
