Ephesians 6:10-20

8/20/2015

Thoughts:          Some of us are list-makers.  We describe the supremely organized person as making lists of his/her lists.  Today’s scripture contains a list that would make pacifists tremble.

We are admonished (twice)
  • to put on the whole armor of God;
  • to put on the breastplate of righteousness;
  • to take the shield of faith;
  • to take the helmet of salvation;
  • to take the sword of the Spirit.
All of these will enable us “… to withstand the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Often we hear – and say, “I’ve done everything I can.”  Have we indeed “done all”?  Are we still standing?

Discussion:        What particularly evil day have you withstood.

Activity:              Reach out with kind words to someone who is beset by evil days.
