Me: Nice Armor!
Prodigal: It is my spiritual armor.
This is from the book Overcoming Spiritual Blindness by James P. Gills, M.D.
The first piece of armor provided by the Captain of our salvation is “the belt of truth.” The robe or loose clothing of a soldier in the Roman era needed to be tucked in and secured by the belt that also held his sword. This “girding of the loins” speaks of reigning in a mind and heart with loose, foolish, and wayward thoughts and desires by embracing the Son of God as Lord. As a “good soldier of Jesus Christ,” we march under His banner, not our own wearing this belt of truth.
Psalm 33:6
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
