Today’s Word: Armor
This is a story about David and Goliath. David was just a boy and Goliath was a giant. If you have never read the story you can find the complete story here in 1 Samuel 17. Its is an uplifting story in that it shows us what can be accomplished when we put All our trust in the Almighty God.
In the below verses we have Saul outfitting David in armor so he can go fight the Giant Goliath, but David takes off the armor because he is not use to wearing it. We also know that David was a man of God and he put his trust in God and believed He would take care of every situation in his life. This is what faith is also all about.
Now when the words which David spoke were heard, they reported them to Saul; and he sent for him. 32 Then David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant will go and fight with this Philistine.”
33 And Saul said to David, “You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.”
34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant used to keep his father’s sheep, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, 35 I went out after it and struck it, and delivered the lamb from its mouth; and when it arose against me, I caught it by its beard, and struck and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God.” 37 Moreover David said, “The Lord, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”
And Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you!”
38 So Saul clothed David with his [c]armor, and he put a bronze helmet on his head; he also clothed him with a coat of mail. 39 David fastened his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, “I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them.” So David took them off. 1 Samuel 17:31-38

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” Ephesians 6:10-11
God’s Word provides the whole armor for our protection. Outside of the birth of Jesus as our Savior and Lord, there are few greater gifts than wearing the armor of our Father.

“Do this, knowing that this is a critical time. It is already the hour for you to awaken from your sleep [of spiritual complacency]; for our salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed [in Christ]. The night [this present evil age] is almost gone and the day [of Christ’s return] is almost here. So let us fling away the works of darkness and put on the [full] Armor of light.” Romans 13:11-12 AMP
One of my favorite passages from the Bible comes from Ephesians 6:10-17. Here are the first two verses.
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
God’s Word provides the whole armor for our protection. Outside of the birth of Jesus as our Savior and Lord, there are few greater gifts than wearing the armor of our Father.
Amen, such Power is held within those verses!!
