God of love, how extraordinary is your Ordinary Time! We ask that you will continue to bless us with all we need; and that our everyday lives may be gifted with the richness of your love, so we may be empowered to share your message of hope, reach out to those in need, and bring honor and glory to you. Amen.
Scripture Reading - Mike Hall
Scripture Reading: Ephesians 6:10-18 (CEB)
Finally, be strengthened by the Lord’s powerful strength. Put on God’s armor so that you can make a stand against the tricks of the devil. We aren’t fighting against human enemies but against rulers, authorities, forces of cosmic darkness, and spiritual powers of evil in the heavens. Therefore, pick up the full armor of God so that you can stand your ground on the evil day and after you have done everything possible to still stand. So stand with the belt of truth around your waist, justice as your breastplate, and put shoes on your feet so that you are ready to spread the good news of peace. Above all, carry the shield of faith so that you can extinguish the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is God’s word.
