Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
– Ephesians 6:11-12
Before the sun rose, I reached for more than breath, I reached for salvation, for truth that girds the soul. Not against flesh, but shadows and whispers, I stand, clothed in light, where darkness tries to take hold.
The helmet guards my thoughts, the breastplate shields my heart, my feet are shod with peace, even when the path is hard. The shield of faith deflects the darts unseen, and the sword of Spirit cuts through every scheme.
So, I rise, not just awake, but armed. Not just dressed but destined. Not just walking, but warring in love. May this day be full of holy surprises and quiet victories.
