If all of Ephesians 6:11 isn’t true, is any of it?
I say unequivocally it is. What do you say?
Ephesians 6:11Amplified Bible (AMP) 11 Put on the full armor of God [for His precepts are like the splendid armor of a heavily-armed soldier], so that you may be able to [successfully] stand up against all the schemes and the strategies and the deceits of the devil. source
strat·e·gy A plan of actionresultingfromstrategy or intended to accomplish a specificgoal. (Free Dictionary)
de·ceit Theact or practice of deceiving;deception. A stratagem; a trick.Thequality of beingdeceitful;falseness. (Free Dictionary)
Serious stuff, right? A systematic plan. A plan of action. The practice of deceiving.
Real serious!
So, what would we do if we knew a person with skin on their face had a systematic plan; a plan of action; and practiced deceiving us?
Would we pass it off without a thought? Would we write them off as harmless? Would we deny they exist?
No? Well . . . then.
So. What’s the Evil One up to in your life? Need help?

Get Well Wishes. You just never know. I have personal knowledge those Get Well Wishes were designed, printed and then purchased perhaps as long as a decade ago. And today there they are doing just what they were created to do . . . not late or forgotten at all!
It’s not over and we are not finished and we just don’t know until JESUS says so . . . if we did some good.
So. If you are questioning; if you are wondering if the day by day seemingly insignificant, nothing important, nobody even notices or well, that was a failure! is what your living is. DON’T!
Just wait. And while you wait just keep on doing those seemingly insignificant, nothing important and who cares anyway things. Because when you least expect it you will get a picture text (or something) that speaks volumes to your sweet little soul! :)
Galatians 6:9New Living Translation (NLT) 9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. source
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
