ARMOR: The scatterer has come up against you. Man the ramparts; watch the road; dress for battle; collect all your strength. Nahum 2:1 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. Ephesians 6:10-11 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, Ephesians 6:14-17 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Romans 13:12
ACTION: Stay dressed for action and keep your lamps burning, ...Truly, I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at table, and he will come and serve them. Luke 12:35 & 37
RIGHTEOUSNESS: I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban. Job 29:14
CHRIST HIMSELF: But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Romans 13: 14 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. Galatians 3:27
THE NEW SELF: ...and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Ephesians 4:24 ...and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator. Colossians 3:9-10
COMPASSION, KINDNESS, HUMILITY, MEEKNESS, PATIENCE AND LOVE: Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, Colossians 3:12 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. Colossians 3:14
FAITH, HOPE AND LOVE: But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 1 Thessalonians 5:8
WOMEN:
STRENGTH: She dresses herself with strength and makes her arms strong. Proverbs 31:17
A GENTLE AND QUIET SPIRIT: Do not let your adorning be external-the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear- but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. 1 Peter 3:3-4
RESPECT, MODESTY AND SELF-CONTROL: ...likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, but with what is proper for women who profess godliness-with good works. 1 Timothy 2:9-10
How is your spring wardrobe?
