God Has Our Back

It's easy to get down and forget that God has our back when times get tough. My pastor has recently been preaching on the armor of God found in Ephesians 6. Each piece of armor used by Roman soldiers represents ways in which God helps us to stand firm against the devil's schemes. What he said about the breastplate really stuck in my mind. The breastplate, which represents God's righteousness, is not just a covering for the chest, but as my pastor explained, is better defined as body armor which covers the back as well as the chest. God has our back. That sure is good to know!
