Being Truthful To Ourselves

 September 23, 2024

Verse of the day - Ephesians 6:14 (NRSV)

Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness.

In chapter 7 of my first book, Jesus speaks to us about the belt of truth.

Excerpt from Spirituality, A Journey For My Soul

When I ask you to put on the belt of truth, I am wanting you to be truthful to yourself.  Do not be afraid to do what is right.  There are many people who will try to get you to stray away from the things which you know are right.  They will try to get you to follow the ways of the world instead of My Ways.  My Ways are higher than your ways.  Be strong and follow Me.  I will lead and guide you to new heights in your spiritual lives.

The belt of truth is part of putting on the whole Armor of God.  When we put on the Armor of God, we are preparing ourselves to withstand the works of the devil.  God's Armor is our protection against the evil that exists in this world.  We must stand up for what we believe in and proclaim the truth that is revealed to us through the gospel.  When we put on the belt of truth, we will not give in to what the world believes to be right.
