The Armor of God

Tonight has been one of those nights were i get all worked up for nothing. The feeling of being "Home Sick" even when you're at home comes to mind. I decided to make a call to my wonderful aunt, she always knows what to say to bring me peace when i am worried. She told me about how in Ephesians it talks about putting on the full Armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. As she was talking to me about the shield of faith i decided to get my Bible and see for myself. While I'm reading i realize that the reason i was getting all worked up was because i was allowing these evil thoughts to enter my mind and take ahold of me. "In addition to all this, take up the Shield of Faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one." verse 16. When i always thought of the armor of God i thought of the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. That's what brought comfort to me, the fact that no matter what your going though in life, no matter how hard it may seem. You always have God on your side with the Bible as your Sword to lead you into righteousness.
