Picture: Soldier (armored boots)
Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-15 (emphasis on v.15); Psalm 18:29-36; Isaiah 61:1; Romans 16:20
Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
Think of a soldier putting on his combat boots. He makes sure they are the right size and securely laced. Likewise, in order for peace to occur, we too must be prepared to pursue and defeat the enemy. We fight not only for our own freedom but also for those who are held captive.
Do you put your “combat boots” on daily, making you ready to crush the enemy? Explain.
Who in your world needs to hear the Good News so they can be set free and finally have peace? What are they struggling with? Consider calling them or taking them to coffee/lunch.
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference.
Remember your mercy, O Lord; and your steadfast love, for they have been from old. Psalm 25:1
Dear Lord Jesus,
The same mercy that touched the blind man long ago, please pour it out on us. And the same love that was revealed to the woman at the well, please Savior, lavish it on us. Yes, Jesus, you are the same, then, now and always. Remember us today. In your Name, Amen.
