A Spectacle Of Glory #167

Read: Ephesians 6:14

If you happen to be a little child riding with your daddy on a galloping horse, there is a way to stay snug and secure behind him in the saddle. All you have to do is wrap your little fingers around his belt and press yourself against the back of the saddle, and off you go—up and down hills, splashing through streams, charging into the day. In a spiritual sense, it’s still the way to go. Today’s Scripture reads, “Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.” In other words, if you’re hanging on to God’s truth—the precepts and promises of God’s Word—nothing can shake you out of the saddle. It doesn’t matter how winding or treacherous your trail is, you can move through anything—trials, hardships, disappointments, even death itself—and remain safe and secure. Just keep your grip on the truth and never let go.

Father, I’m holding on to Your Word today with all my heart. You have promised to be with me in every situation. You have promised to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. You have promised Your wisdom, Your strength, Your endurance, and Your peace when I need it most. Make my grip strong today, Father, because the trail ahead of me may be steep.
