"Finally , be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power" Ephesians 6:10

Well this is a very simple photo today, of a battery. Other brands of batteries are available!! I was looking at this battery and thinking about how you need to have the right sized and shaped battery in order to make things work, it is no good if it is the wrong shape. This is not the same with God, as Plumb sing "There's a God shaped hole in all of us", God fills our hearts and meets us where we are, we do not need to be in a specific shape. This is good news, otherwise we may never get to know God.

The verse I have chosen is from the beginning of the verses that talk about the armour of God. I am reminded again about the need to put on the armour of God, it is not automatically there, it is something we choose to do, maybe I will do a series of pictures to talk about each of the armour of God and see what thoughts I come up with about each one. A sword and a shield may be difficult, I don't have any of those lying around!!!

I was also thinking about this verse about being strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Because we know God we can have a confidence that he is behind us. I am reminded of when my Dad taught me to ride a bike, and he encouraged me and was with me and told me that I can do it, in the same way I think of God bedside me telling me that I can do it (whatever it is that I need to do) and this gives me confidence and it should you as well. Another good song is the song by Chris Tomlin called "Whom shall I fear (God of angel armies)" which says:

"You go before me, you're there beside me, the God of angel armies, is always by my side..."

Remember we are in battle and to bring it full circle, we need to put on the armour of God....
