IF YOU READ MY NOTE YESTERDAY, YOU ARE ALREADY AWARE THAT I HAD A PRETTY HORRIBLE DAY. THE DEVIL HAD HIS DIRTY LITTLE BAG OF DARTS SLUNG OVER HIS SHOULDER AND WAS RESTED UP AND READY TO BRING PROBLEMS INTO MY LIFE. YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, I SPENT SOME ALONE TIME WITH THE LORD AND REGAINED MY SENSE OF VICTORY. JUST WHEN I THOUGHT I HAD SENT HIM PACKING FOR THE DAY, THE DEVIL SHOWED BACK UP WITH A SACK FULL OF BIGGER, MORE POINTED DARTS. BY BED TIME, I FELT FULLY PRAYED UP AND WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SUNDAY, MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK.
I NEEDED CHURCH THIS MORNING. I NEEDED TO GAIN STRENGTH FROM MY CHURCH FAMILY. I GOT TO CHURCH EARLY AND OPENED MY BIBLE TO GET GOD'S DIRECTION AND GUIDANCE. I OPENED MY BIBLE TO EPHESIANS 6 AND WOULDNT YOU KNOW, THERE AT EPHESIANS 6:16 WAS SCRIPTURE REGARDING THOSE PERSISTANT DARTS WHICH HAD BEEN THROWN AT ME ALL DAY SATURDAY.
I APPLIED "THE ARMOR OF GOD" TO MY SITUATION. I ENVISIONED EVERY ASPECT OF THE SUIT OF ARMOR. I WAS ESPECIALLY SURE TO CARRY MY SHIELD OF FAITH AND MADE A MENTAL NOTE TO NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT. I PICKED UP MY HELMET OF SALVATION AND GRATEFULLY PUT IT OVER MY HEAD. BRO JERRY STARTED OUR MORNING SERVICE AT EXACTLY 10:00. I ALMOST DROPPED MY BIBLE WHEN HE TOLD US WHICH BOOK OF THE BIBLE HIS SERMON WOULD COME FROM THIS MORNING. IT WASNY EPHESIANS 6, BUT WAS PRETTY CLOSE. EPHESIANS 2 TO BE EXACT.
NEEDLESS TO SAY, I KNEW WITHOUT A DOUBT THAT EPHESIANS WOULD INSTRUCT ME ON WHAT I NEEDED TO DO TODAY TO RESTORE MY SPIRITUAL SERENITY. I AM SO GRATEFUL THAT WE SERVE A GOD WHO CARES ENOUGH TO OFFER US MUCH NEEDED GUIDANCE WHEN WE DONT KNOW HOW TO SOLVE A PROBLEM. WE SERVE AN AWESOME GOD! NONE OF OUR PROBLEMS ARE TOO SMALL OR INSIGNIFICANT TO HIM. ONCE AGAIN, I JUST GOTTA SAY, I LOVE MY GOD! EVEN BETTER, HE LOVES ME!
HE LOVES YOU TOO! HE WAITS FOR YOU, FOR ME AND FOR US ALL.
