The day I was at a park when it was about 38 degrees out, I started putting on layer after layer of coats and sweatshirts to keep warm while I was sitting out in nature enjoying God’s presence. It made me think of the Armor of God that we, as Christians, need to put on daily to withstand the enemy that likes to sidetrack us.
We need to remember to keep our eyes on the cross, where victory has been achieved through Jesus’ death and resurrection. A phrase from the song “Just Be Held” by Casting Crowns resonated with me, especially today. Think about the truth of this:
If your eyes are on the storm
You’ll wonder if I love you still
But if your eyes are on the cross
You’ll know I always have and I always will.
