I purchased some really comfy PJs this week. I laundered them and I’ve not had them off so far yet today. :)
As I sit in these loose, warm fuzzies, I’m reading Ephesians 6. Get Dressed in the Full Armor of GOD. You do see the humor in this, right?
The Armor of GOD. The first piece is the waistband. It covers the loin. You know the gut. And this Gut Cover is truth. So the first piece of ‘clothing’ we need in this world is Truth; and, we need to know Truth deep in our gut; deep in that place where life lives.
4 So stand firm and hold your ground, havingtightened the wide band of truth (personal integrity, moral courage) around your waist. . . source
Luke 22:32 (NASB) 32 but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.”source
This verse is newly refreshed for me and I think I shall not soon forget. Recently, and most recently, my soul was bruised and bleeding, my spirit was low and receding. This could not stand. My kneeling was feeble. So, I prayed: Jesus, pray for me. He did. He never fails. My soul is healing well and my spirit is gratefully peaceful. He’s the best, no He’s the Only Savior.
Hebrews 7:25 (TLV) 25 Therefore He is also able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, always living to make intercession for them.source
Lamentations 3:22-23 (ESV) 22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. sourcePsalm 121:1-2 (NASB) 121 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come? 2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. 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?
