CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Psalms 118:24. This is the Day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it. I wake up most mornings saying this verse in my head. I teach it to my grandchildren but some days I think, how can I rejoice when I’m facing what I’m facing. Sickness, death, loss of a job, anything that causes sadness, fear, grief, hatred? I recently realized the key word to this verse is the last word. IT. I rejoice in the day the Lord has made! That day is perfect. Man’s sin introduced the part of my day that can put me in a prison of grief, hate, fear, lust, ect. With that thought I turn to Ephesians 6:10-20. We all know it, the armor of God. That is what we use to fight these battles. Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness, Sandals fitted and ready to go, Shield of Faith, Helmet of Salvation and the Sword of Truth. The one piece of KIT that I think gets overlooked is the last part of the verses about praying in all things and for the Saints. I encourage you to visualize prayer as you do the rest of the Armor, a physical piece of KIT that you can physically use. John Bunyan called it the key of AllPrayer in his book The Pilgrim’s Progress. AllPrayer was a key that the Christian wore around his neck. When he was trapped in the dungeon of the giant named Despair, he was able to use the key to open the lock and escape. We also have that key with us at all time. When we find ourselves in the prison of grief, fear, hate, ect we need to remember that we have the key to open the door of the prison and escape. We just have to use it, AllPrayer opens all prison doors. Don’t stay trapped when you have the key!
