Having the right equipment to do the job makes ail the difference in
the world. This week as I watched the men replace the heating and air conditioning
units in this building, I was once again shown the truth of the above statement.
These men knew what they were doing and had along with them the right equipment,
s that when they needed something they had it. Also, they had the
knowledge needed to use that equipment quickly and efficiently.
When it comes to spiritual things we need to ask
ourselves if we have the right equipment. The apostle Paul, by inspiration
of God, revealed the equipment that God supplies all His followers in Ephesians
6:11-19. This equipment is like the equipment the Roman soldier wore and
used. The Roman soldiers knew how each piece of equipment fit and how to
use each piece to its fullest advantage. The reason was because they trained
in their equipment and used it almost every day so that when they were
called into baffle they were ready and knew what to do. The same should
be true for Christians. We should know how each piece of equipment that
God supplies fits and how to use that equipment quickly and efficiently.
We should train every day and realize that we can be called into baffle
at any time. By having the right equipment and knowing how to efficiently
use it, we should be able to stand against the devil!
