Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the tactics of the Devil. Ephesians 6:11
At first glance, this passage in Ephesians seems
far removed from our modern day experience. I don't know about you, but not a one of my neighbors regularly dresses for his job with
sword and shield. But my husband and I
had the rare experience of watching our oldest son, a Marine, get ready for war
when he was deployed to Iraq. God spoke
to me through those somber minutes and I’d like to share the images He brought
to my mind.
