Belt of Truth

You may have all of the armor of God, but how do you plan on keeping it all together without the Belt of Truth? Without the Belt of Truth, we have nothing to hold up our armor.

You've seen those teenaged boys walking around with their pants just below their butt, right? Everytime I see that, I just want to go over there and pull their pants down. Then I can run away laughing, because they can't catch me. You know why? Because their pants are down.

Put us in the boy's shoes. How do we think we can fight if our pants are on the floor? We'll be tripping over ourselves, while satan laughs at us, because he pulled our pants down with his lies. Satan's goal is to bring us down. His main weapon is deceitfulness. Of course he's going to lie to us. Then we'll be to worried about what he said, and eventually trip over ourselves, instead of getting a " Belt of Truth" to keep our pants up.

Truth is the base of the word. Without the Truth, our lives will fall apart. Anytime someone hits us, we'll break into pieces. We must know what the truth is, so we can stand up for what we believe in.

John 17:17 says, "Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth."

Our words of truth will help other people find the right way, and be lead to the Lord.

The truth will also guide us.

John 16:13 " But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come"

For us to put on the Belt of Truth, we must read the Word, and speak it aloud, so it becomes real in our hearts. Stand on the Rock of Truth, which is the Word. Then you can keep your clothes on. Ha ha

Have a blessed week, and wear the Belt of Truth. Amen
