Isaiah 42:18 ” Hear, you deaf; look, you blind, and see! “

We all spend our lives searching for it.  But when we’re confounded with it, we usually don’t like what we hear or see.  What is it you ask?  It’s the Truth.  The truth is sobering, straightforward, and serious.  It’s what we don’t want to hear or see, so instead, we play mind games with ourselves, pretending it doesn’t exist.  But the truth will remain the truth, regardless of what we want to think…and God is really good at revealing it to us.  What we have to do then… is accept it.

Ephesians 6:14 ” Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist…”

It tells us here to stand fast against the enemy, but unless you’ve prepared for battle ahead of time, the enemy will  have you for lunch.  The belt of truth is that solid foundation of doctrinal knowledge of God’s Word…It’s His unshakable, unchangeable, everlasting truth that we need to gird  our heart, soul, and mind with.   Our belt of truth also holds all our weapons in place around our waist… weapons that are always at the ready.  Finally, this belt of truth  girds us with the power and authority of Jesus Christ to stand firm against anything the enemy throws at us.
