I am making an effort to study the Bible more,( previously i was only reading it two to three times a week, and i am sorry to say,struggling to do even that, which as i have said before is so wrong because the Lord blesses me every time i do,as He does with all His children.)The Word,(Bible) is a "living" book, so full of life and blessing to us, its the manufacturers handbook,the Fathers Love letter to us, a guide for our Lives, and is How God the Holy Spirit speaks to us, it how we learn about Him.
Yesterday it was Ephesians 6, a passage i usually rush through because i feel i know it so well!..Yesterday i was struck by the various items of Armour and how the are so significant to us,first its the Belt of Truth, which goes round the middle of us, around our very core!Jesus said He is "the Way the Truth and the Life" and also "the Truth will set you free",yesterday it struck me that by putting on the belt of Truth first, we are saying to the world, the Enemy that our Faith is true, THE TRUTH,we may be mocked by the World, by People, but when His Love is shown to people who don't believe, it stuns them, the cant fail to be drawn in,"what is so different about these people", but its not US! its the iresistable Love of God, which HE chooses to show through us flawed Humans sometimes!
Going back to how the belt surrounds us, we are within it, its like it says in the Bible,about the Hedge of protection, we are surrounded by His Truth, we Love the Truth,which is not just a meaningless word but a Person,as C.S.LEWIS, says we are confronted not by an argument which demands out agreement, but by a Person, who demands nothing from us, but we cant help but Love Him.
