Ephesians 6:14 (ESV)
“Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,”
Paul has given us a description of the weapons of warfare we have to both fight with and further resist the devil. But they are only useful if we appropriate them and use them for the purpose they are designed for.
We are to “gird” our waist with the weapon of truth. One thing Satan cannot tolerate is the truth. In fact, he will flee from the truth. Many people believe the truth is whatever they want it to be whether right or wrong it has become what they want.
The scriptures teach us the truth and that should be our source for all things right. His truth is absolute and that may be the reason people today refuse to listen to it because they want the truth to be what they want.
It’s the truth that holds the remainder of the armor together and enables us to fight. We must believe the scriptures are true, keep our minds focused on right, keeping the armor properly worn and when that happens victory is ours.
“Wear the truth, say it, sing it, and you will be amazed how the difficulty will be subdued; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.” John Henry Jowett.
God Bless.
