When our son Jonathan was in Little League baseball there was a short minute when he considered going out for the catcher position. You know what changed his mind? The gear. All. That. Gear. To be protected from pitches, batters, and runners you need good gear! He realized he didn’t want to be the target and he didn’t want to suit up like that. Christians can make that choice in their walk as well. But there’s an important difference. No matter if you gear up or not, you’re still the target. You’re still gonna take hits, pitches, and runners. Suiting up spiritually is a choice, and it’s wise to be ready. Yes, there’s victory in Jesus. Yes, the outcome of the game is determined. But faithful, spirit-filled Christians who are strong in the Lord are well-armed because they know that while the battle is the Lord’s the days are evil and we can stand ready and wrestle victoriously with the full armor of God covering us.
