"Stand therefore having your loins girt about you with Truth..." (Ephesians 6:14)
When a decorated roman soldier was wearing his polished-brass breastplate or his helmet "head dress" or his shiny sword... who would have ever noticed his belt? Pretty boring right? WRONG!
If a soldier wasn't wearing a belt, pretty soon everyone would notice! A man's belt might seem insignificant, but to remove that belt would seen affect other articles of clothing...
- Pants might fall down - trying to march or fight while holding your pants up or having them around your knees is no easy task! "Breezy, but not Easy"
- Shirt might come untucked, wrinkled and before long... he'd look like a mess!
Over the next few weeks, we'll learn to appreciate the belt's function and value to us as Believers...
(Ephesians 6:14) The belt was mentioined first - first in priority and rank. Just as the Apostle (the thumb on the hand) which can touch the other four "fingers" of ministry (Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher - but that's another sermon!)
The belt was the connection between the Warrior, his Weapons and him Winning the battle! What does the belt represent and why was it first over the other weapons?
See you next week...
