I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
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!
