Truth. Even though the words hurt, she spoke words filled with truth. I went home and journaled about our interaction and thanked God for opening my eyes. Then I thanked him for friends who told me the truth, even when it hurts. In my mind, I saw myself tying a thin rope around my waist. It wasn’t a belt, by any means, but it was the simple start of wrapping truth around my waist. God’s truth. Unbreakable and unshakeable.

We are active in this battle and we must choose a side. Are we going to be used as God’s tool for good or the enemy’s vessel for evil? If we are God’s, we must learn what it means to suit up every day in the armor of God. Join us this week as we visit Ephesians 6 and discuss the implementation of God’s armor in our educational systems around the United States.
