“But we belong to the day. So we must stay sober and let our faith and love be like a suit of armor. Our firm hope that we will be saved is our helmet.”

1 Thessalonians 5:8 CEV

Is there anyone else who senses that darkness is running rampant through our world right now? In the face of great adversity and godlessness, I need to often remind myself that I belong to the light and that I do not need to fear what is happening around me.

We are instructed in the Word of God how to handle this season of chaos in many scriptures, one being 1 Thessalonians 5:8.

We must be sober. To be sober means to be marked by seriousness in demeanor and speech. We must be alert and aware of what is happening in the spirit realm. We must also be wise with our words and cautious with how we speak to others.

We must let our faith and love be a suit of armor. Armor protects important, life-sustaining organs. Your faith and love for God and others will stand guard at your heart and deflect lies from the enemy.

Lastly, we must wear our hope for salvation like a helmet. This helmet will protect your mind, and now more than ever, our minds need to be protected by the best security system.

Let’s choose to filter our thoughts, decisions, actions and words through God’s Word and we will thrive during uncertain times!
