Put On Your Armor
Greetings in the Lord!
Today's word comes from Ezekiel 42:13-14:
"Then he said to me, "the north and south rooms facing the temple courtyard are the priests' rooms, where the priests who approach the Lord will eat the most holy offerings. There they will put the most holy offerings--the grain offerings, the sin offerings and the guilt offerings--for the place is holy. Once the priests enter the holy precincts, they are not to go into the outer court until they leave behind the garments in which they minister, for these are holy. They are to put on other clothes before they go near the places that are for the people."
~Today's word is a reminder to keep yourselves spiritually pure and sanctified in the Holy Spirit, and to put on your spiritual armor when you are out with the world, living from day to day. In the above passage the priests were required to eat the most holy offerings in special rooms, away from the other people, as well as place the offerings and their ministering garments there. When they were ready to leave those rooms and enter the outer court with the rest of the people, they were told to "put on other clothes." These "other clothes" for us are our spiritual weapons: helmet of salvation, belt of truth, shoes of peace, breastplate of righteousness, shield of faith and have our sword in our hands. I discern the Lord is telling us to spend extra time with Him these days, away from other concerns and distractions, and when we need to be out mixing with people that we should be wearing our spiritual armor and be watchful.
~Be blessed and be a blessing.
