Light Reflection-Romans 13:11 Armor of Light

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Romans 13:11.

And do this, understanding the present time: The hour has already come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

As we get ready for a new day, we go through the process of deciding what to wear for that day. We might dress to impress or we might dress for comfort. Spiritual preparation for the upcoming day is also important. There will be opportunities and challenges ahead. There will be temptations and trials. Spending time with God in His word and in prayer prepares us for the decisions that we will make in a given day.

Romans 13:14 encourages us to clothe ourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

This Light Reflection inspires us to put on the armor of light as we prepare for each new day in the Year to Shine.
