It's a tad late to wish a Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily. I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...
I read a true story once about a motorcycle policeman that saw a red pickup truck speed through a stop sign. He turned on his lights and managed to get the man to pull over. As the policeman was walking up to the drivers window the man driving is saying to himself, " The cop already knows what I have done". The man reached for his gun that he had just used to rob a store.The officer said, "Good morning sir, may I see your......" He never finished his sentence. The driver fired his gun just inches from the officer's chest knocking him seven feet away. Seconds later, the criminal was shocked to see the officer stand up and pull his revolver. The driver shouted, "Don't shoot" as he tossed his weapon and stolen money out of the window. What saved the officer's life? The dozen layers of super strong fabric used for a bullet-proof vest.
Thought for today: If the officer has not had on the bullet-proof vest it could have cost him his life. The same is true for Christians. Without our Spiritual armor the enemy is waiting to attack us, especially where we are weak. Just as the vest was a defense for the officer so is the armor of God our defense.

And, the enemy knows our weaknesses even better than we know ourselves!!! Great analogy, Ms. Cindy!!! HOPE you have a great day!
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy for these words. What a great reminder to get fully 'dressed' every morning. Not just dressed in our clothes, but dressed in God's Word. Blessings..
ReplyDeleteAMEN! Every time we step out that door we step into battle. It amazes me how we think we have a chance without God's whole armor on! Hope you had a good day!
