\u201cWherefore take unto you the whole armor of God\u2026stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth\u201d<\/span> (Ephesians 6:13-14). <\/p>\n

In this day of long-range missiles, rockets, and bombs of various kinds, wearing armor does not really offer much protection. However, in the days of hand-to-hand fighting with bows and arrows, swords, and spears, armor was quite important. It offered protection to various parts of the body, and often kept the soldier from serious injury. <\/p>\n

It is the same in the Christian life. There is spiritual warfare in the Christian life, and we must be prepared for it. In the list of various kinds of armor, the first item mentioned is having our loins girt about with truth. The loins are that part of body between the lowest ribs and the hip bones, and are associated with strength. In eastern lands in the Bible they often wore loose clothing when they were relaxing, but when they went to work, they tightened that clothing so that they could work better. <\/p>\n

In the same way the truth from God\u2019s Word strengthens us, and keeps us being \u201ccarried about with every wind of doctrine\u201d (Ephesians 4:14). We need the truth of God\u2019s Word in order to work for the Lord, and to resist the lies that Satan is always trying to persuade us to believe. This is one good reason to read God\u2019s Word every day!<\/p>\n
