Walk thru Eph #145
versebyverse | April 23, 2008 18:05
Thought: To me, truth and righteousness are fundamental qualities that our society have compromised and rejected over and over.
Question: What is truth? Have I learned that Christ stated he was the embodiment of truth?
Scripture: Ephesians 6:14 (NIV): "Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,"
God enjoys teaching us about His nature. And we have it here, part by part, as compared to pieces of armor. God will protect us with Who He is! God is "Truth." Christ said, "I am (the way), the truth (and the life)." Only God is "righteous", that is, perfect, always right and never wrong--never capable of making a mistake. Thus we cover our mid-section, chest, waist area and "loins", where the "bowels" are located, and, as I stated previously, representative, to me, of covering our emotional self--our sense of well-being and personal integrity. All our most vital organs are protected with these pieces of armor. With the "belt of truth buckled around your waist", you are completely encircled on all sides by truth. Truth and righteousness do keep us emotionally stable. It's when lies and errors, dishonesty and wickedness abound in a person's life that the resulting confusion begins to tear them apart and make them emotionally unstable, even mentally ill.
Prayer: God of Truth and Righteousness, help me encircle myself with Who You are, believing You utterly, accepting You completely, that I may stand against evil. Help me be armed with Your truth and Your right-doing. Amen.
