yet dwell here for now
footfalls on this earth
I must remember
it is dangerous, almost impossible
to walk unprotected
We are warned to wear protective armor:
Be prepared. You're up against far more than you can handle on your own. Take all the help you can get, every weapon God has issued, so that when it's all over but the shouting you'll still be on your feet. Ephesians 6:13 The Message
truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace
faith, salvation and His Word
the tools of war
yet I am so often weak
I strengthen myself with praise
as David did
and reach for my secret weapon
my private arsenal
opening the pages of journals
to feast on words He has spoken directly to me
this, then, is how I fight
eyes fixed on Him
this, then, is how I stand.
Therefore put on God’s complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Ephesians 6:13 Amplified
Joining Peter and the rest where we're talking about arsenal

Wonderful post!
Thanks for joining the carnival.
The words God has spoken in other seasons are powerful weapons today! Love this post, Karin. I was reading this past week Psalm 119:24, "Your testimonies also are my delight;
They are my counselors." I love that thought, that His works and wonders and words are my counselors when I need wisdom and advice. God is so good! Thank you.
Amen! It truly is all we can do for "warfare" is to trust Him and serve and obey and move forward as He calls us to do so. HE is the Leader; we must follow.
Beautiful.
Thank you, sis!
BLESSINGS!
"Reach for my secret weapon." What a wonderful Truth. Only secret to the lost... a choice. Great and inspiring words.
thanks Jason for linking it up.
