Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 6:10-17 (day three)
“…and having done everything, to stand firm.”
It’s important that you still stand after everything that has come against you. Why? Because when something attempts to take your voice, your presence, your worth, that is an offensive attempt to undo what God made when he made you. If there is more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need not repent, then assuredly there is more rejoicing in heaven over one person whose light has not been extinguished than over ninety-nine who were never under threat. When the Spirit equips a person with the armor of God, this isn’t a mere exercise in getting the answers right in a Bible study. This is a provision for strength in the face of everyone who has ever shut you out, forgotten you, or neglected to treasure you.
