Today's readings are Psalm 131, 2 Kings 4:38-5:8, and Ephesians 6:1-24.
Today's reading from Ephesians points out the armor of God. But I wonder if we realize where the battleground is? In this great spiritual warfare which we face, do we consider the relational matters - children and parents or slaves and masters? Do we see that often the spiritual battles we face are right in our own families and workplaces? Yet if we do not stand firm in the faith where we live and work, how will we wear this armor of God elsewhere?
Lest we despair, we should observe that we do not train or clothe ourselves. Rather, we have been redeemed as Christ has put himself onto us. We do not wage war on our own but we stand in the power and authority of our Lord and Savior.
