Over Stressed and Under Dressed

As women we often find ourselves in a constant state of stress out. The laundry, the dishes, the kids, the husband, the cooking, the cleaning, etc.... It's enough to stress anyone out. I, myself, often find myself over stressed and under dressed. I stand back and observe what's going on and realize that I haven't fully clothed myself with my armor. I have not properly prepared myself for the battles I am going to face throughout the day. God's Word instructs us very firmly to "Put on the full armor of God" so we are prepared to take a stand against anything that comes our way. So the next time you find yourself over stressed, make sure you are fully dressed!

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full
armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For
our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the
authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual
forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God,
so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and
after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of
truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place,
and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of
peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation
and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on
all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be
alert and always keep on praying for all the saints." ~ Ephesians 6:10-18
