The belt of Truth
The breastplate of Righteousness
The shoes of Readiness
The shield of Faith
The helmet of Salvation
The sword of the Spirit
(Eph 6:12-30)
…And the gag to keep me from saying too much
I have a big mouth, I say things I probably shouldn’t… I think I get that from my big sister…
I knew that someone was going to come try to stir trouble, so much so that I told you… I worried about it long before it happened, until God told me, “don’t borrow trouble” but I had this anxiety (I wish I could just say that it didn’t bother me). I often say things that I can’t take back or lose my temper. Then I am sorry.
So today it came about just as I knew it would. Only I held my temper, kept my cool, it was like God had one hand on my shoulder and one over my mouth. It was actually quite peaceful. I simply said “when you have it right, then I will take it, not until then” she was not too pleased with this answer. I don’t really care, but she had known the expectation for well over a month. (I am getting much better at communicating my expectations – thanks, Sara)
I am quite sure that in all the little things satan is trying to get me to slip up. He tries to pull the rug out from underneath me, he knows that I get excited in the little things that means that I also get excited (not in a good way) over the bad things. He tries to steal my joy, but he can’t have it. HA! God is always there, He Rules, forever.
Psalm 145:13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through all generations. The LORD is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all He has made.
