There’s a lot I don’t know about armor, namely, how to put it on or what it does, specifically. I have friends in law enforcement, however – hi friends! – who rest the fate of their lives in pieces of protective gear. Reading Neil’s entry today, one picture that came to my mind was the police officer going through the routine of putting on a utility belt, vest, and helmet…
As I read the last paragraph dealing with the language of
Ephesians 6 (lots of action words), another picture came to mind: football players, gearing up for game
day. Each team has two main parts. One plays offense, the other defense, although
the gear is pretty much the same.
As believers, it’s not enough to hang out on defense,
looking to pick a pass when the opportunity arises, and gain a bit of
ground. We’re called to be on the
offense, ready to march down the field.
I’m inspired, and I’m looking forward to the next several
days…
