Wrap your hands around your Spiritual bat, and HIT that devil right at the kneecaps. Are you with me?
When
we get in our cars to go somewhere, it's the law to buckle our
seatbelt. It just may save your life. But it is a choice we have to
make. A friend of mine came to work the other morning and his lip, and
top of his head was bleeding. He had gotten in an accident on the way to
work. I asked him if he had his seatbelt on. He said he has it buckled
24/7. . . behind him, and sits on it.
I
thought to myself, wow, that’s what some people do with Jesus. He’s
always behind them, and everything else they want to do is first. Jesus
is here for us, wanting to protect us, and lead us daily. Yet a lot of
us put Him behind us.
Seatbelts are made for our safety, and so is God’s word. "take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day," (Ephesians 6:13). We take
our chance everyday out in this world, without clothing our self with
Jesus Christ and his, "armour of light." (Romans 13:12). “the whole world [lies] in wickedness." (1 John 5: 19).
Just
as I know, it’s a fact that seatbelts can save you, I know it’s a fact - and truth - that my Father in heaven wants to protect me. Jesus is the
way, the truth and the life. Our protector, and deliverer,
“We are more
than conquerors through Him that loved us. . . For I [know] that neither death, nor life. . . shall be able to separate us from the love of God,” (Romans 8: 37-39). I
don’t leave home without my belt of truth, my breastplate, my feet
fitted, my shield, my helmet, and my sword. Now I’m ready for the
battles that will come every day. God’s armor brings victory. It’s so
much more than protective covering. It is the very life of Jesus
Himself. His life surrounds you, and keeps you safe in Him.
We
can’t expect to be safe in our car without our seatbelt around our
waist. Some accidents are really bad, and you still may get very hurt,
but you may come out with your life. That’s why it’s a law, but your
choice.
God offers us safety too,
but not the absence of pain, because of this world we live in. But if
you wear the name of Jesus, you will come out with your life!
So when you go out to drive on the roads, that lead to your destination, Buckle up. (Selah)
Grace and peace to you
