DRESS FOR STRESS - #2

In yesterday's devotional, we were told to "PUT ON the whole armor of God."  It's our responsibility to PUT ON each and every piece.  We'll be in danger and left vulnerable if we decide to "pick-and-choose" what we will or will not wear!  If you leave out one piece, you will not be properly covered or adequately equipped.

In Romans 13:12-14 we're told to CAST OFF the works of darkness and to PUT ON the ARMOR of LIGHT in order to walk in His Light.  (Jesus Christ is our light.)

When I come home at night and walk into my dark house, the first thing I do is turn on the LIGHT.  If I leave the house and know I won't be returning 'til after DARK, I'll leave a light on in the house as well as the porch light.  LIGHT helps us see what couldn't be seen in the DARK!

The ARMOR of LIGHT is the Lord's light shining in and through us.  The DARKNESS refers to the present (evil) times.

We're to be the light of the world...we're not to hide our light...we're to give light to all those in our households; and, when we go out into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and the marketplace--we're to keep our light shining so that all we come in contact with will see Christ in us and be drawn to His Light.  [Matthew 5:12-16]

Remember the little children's song:  "This little light of mine...I'm gonna let it shine...".  PUT ON the ARMOR of LIGHT and brighten up somebody's day!
