Well, as we look at the armor of God that Paul commands us
to put on daily - shouldn’t it be custom fit? Do we not ask God to tailor our
armor so that it equips us to withstand the evil that we will wrestle against? I
can’t wear Mom’s armor. I can’t wear Dad’s, grandmother's, auntie's or the
preacher’s armor. The articles have a very specific purpose for each of us and
need to been worn for it.
When David went to fight Goliath, the king offered David his
battle gear. However, the gear was uncomfortable for David. He would not have
been able to move around in the gear. So, David took what he knew would work
and used it to finish Goliath.
Friends, the whole armor of God needs to be put on each day.
He commands us to put it on so we can fight against evil. As we put it on each
day, we must ask God to custom fit it. It has to fit correctly so that when in
battle, with ourselves and other evil, we are not exposed for easy attack. It
has to fit custom so that we are not worried about pieces being out of place in
the heat of the battle.
In this day, our armor has to fit right. It has to fit with
a custom design so we can press toward the higher calling, which is in Christ
Jesus. The enemy wants to catch us exposed. But, with a custom fit armor, we
are better equipped to stand for a risen Savior who has already finished the battle.
