Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. — Ephesians 6:16

 As disciples of Jesus Christ, we require defense against the "fiery darts" the devil casts at us. He possesses a number of potent projectiles that have the ability to incite in us uncleanness, lust, greed, selfishness, covetousness, and pride. And in these places, he strikes us when we are most exposed. But to guard us from Satan's most potent arrows, God has given us the shield of faith. Even the most lethal attacks of the enemy will be ineffective if we trust God and believe what He says to us in His Word.

Put on all of God's gear as you enter the fray today. Take up your shield of faith above all else. Reaffirm your faith in God and give Him control of your actions. Your Smart Armor System is it.

Our sufficiency is from God. — 2 Corinthians 3:5

 People are always pleading for strength. There is sufficient power. They need to have the faith to use the strength that God has given them, as well as the willingness to serve in any lowly capacity. 

If we would stop using our cowardly justifications and simply allow the Holy Spirit to fill and rule our lives, we could accomplish many wonderful tasks. We have all the power we require to carry out His purpose because of our relationship with Christ and the presence of the Holy Spirit (2 Cor. 3:5).

Without the Holy Spirit's filling, the human spirit fails. Lord, empower us with the power of Your Spirit so that we may live as we should in Your sight; extend Thy hand to all of Thy children so that they may live according to Thy purpose.

When the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His son, born of a woman, born under the law. — Galatians 4:4

 Such a scenario is mind-boggling. Imagine the heavens without a sky, or the earth without a sunrise. However, because our world is unaware of the full significance of Christ's advent, it is important to take this seriously, especially at Christmas. 

Try to imagine the world without Christ as you reflect on this first Sunday of Advent. Without Him, how would history have turned out? What would your life be like personally without Him? Thank God history doesn't deal with ifs.

Without Christ, there would be no hope for the future. We would not have any hope beyond death and no understanding of Christ's grace if He had never descended from His throne to enter time and space.

Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor. — Ephesians 4:25

 Jesus had harsh criticism for people who opposed the truth. He claimed that they were the devil's offspring (Jn. 8:44), and that they were unable to proclaim the truth because they would not hear it (vv. 43–47). 

The Bible commands us to tell the truth (Proverbs 12:17–22). We can only avoid our society becoming consumed by distrust and mistrust if we obey Him. 

Since the Bible states of Jesus, "Nor was deceit found in His mouth" (1 Peter 2:22), we are to be truthful communicators like Him. Today, let's aim for that lofty standard.  

One falsehood set off all the trouble in the world. Take my voice, and allow me to sing only and always for my King; take my lips, and allow messages from Thee to fill them.

Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him. — John 9:3

 We find it disturbing that some people are born with significant disabilities. We have a strong sense of compassion for them and naturally question why they must go through this kind of suffering. 

Such handicaps, according to those who believe in reincarnation, are consequences for actions taken in former lives. But the Bible's teaching is utterly at odds with this idea.

When someone has a disability, we need to be cautious about assigning responsibility. When Jesus came across the man who was born blind. "Who sinned, this man or his parents?" His disciples questioned. (Jn. 9:2). But when asked, Jesus said, "Neither," adding, "but that the works of God should be revealed in him" (v. 3). He then provided the man with healing as best He could. 

While we can't heal people like Jesus did, we may improve their quality of life by being kind to others. There are many chances to show love by lending a hand or a sympathetic ear, not in a patronizing way but in true friendship. We demonstrate the spirit of Christ when we treat people with respect.

Lord, please assist us to recognize and uphold each person's dignity. When there is no apparent cause for unpleasant events, please help us to concentrate on what we can do.

In everything give thanks. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

 Our struggles paled in comparison to what the apostle Paul went through. However, he expressed gratitude to God and urged us to do the same "in everything." Even on Thanksgiving Day when things go wrong, we may give thanks.

You will have reason to thank if you take a moment to reflect. We should be prepared to give thanks to the Lord for both blessings and tribulations; all He asks is for thankful hearts; let's put our trust in Him to provide what is best.

Greet Priscilla and Aquila, . . . to whom . . . I give thanks. — Romans 16:3-4

 It is appropriate to mention a friend's or relative's positive traits during their funeral, but it is much preferable to express your admiration for them while they are still alive. It might be the motivation they sorely need. 

The apostle Paul thanked those who had supported and encouraged him as he concluded his epistle to the Romans by publicly praising them. In addition to addressing them by name and expressing his gratitude for what they had done, he also mentioned what they had done (16:3–4). What a wonderful example for us all to follow! 

Owe anyone a note of gratitude or appreciation? Don't delay doing it. Speak it now. It might be too late tomorrow!

A friendly remark should never be withheld because you never know when it will be too late.

Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil. — Proverbs 12:20

In reality, we are imitating the devil, the father of lies, by wearing a flattering mask, winking at wrong, or claiming that we are only trying to be diplomatic (Jn. 8:44). 

Lord, enable us to always be sincere.

Having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. — 1 Timothy 6:8

 Does anything on this planet really matter so much? We must keep in mind today's scripture whenever we are tempted to feel that way. 

Let's examine our emotions and beg the Lord to instill gratitude in us rather than allowing life become bitter about missed opportunities and gains. Then we can genuinely be glad and pleased with everything He has given us.

Consider what you do have rather than what you lack. Come happiness or sorrow, I will be content to rest and feel exceedingly blessed for nothing in earth or heaven can sever The Savior from the loving heart.

Count it all joy when you fall into various trials. — James 1:2

 Have you recently encountered challenging circumstances? Have you been overcome with fear and grief because of a disaster? God doesn't want you to have a smiley, hypocritical face. He does, however, want you to put your trust in Him despite everything, including disasters! He wants you to view setbacks, adversity, and loss as chances to develop in your faith and obedience. 

Our heavenly Father, who is both wise and loving, longs for us to submit to His absolute authority. We can only concur with James and celebrate even in tragedy if we do that.

Trials in life should improve us, not make us resentful. Despite the difficult circumstances,

As worries swell like a flood,

He is held to by this lovely assurance: My God is near and merciful.

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. — Philippians 1:21

 Although you may enjoy your life now, are you ready to face eternity? You can join the psalmist in saying, "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me" (Ps. 23:4) if such is the case. 

If not, accept God's gift of eternal life, which is available right now. You will discover happiness in life and triumph in death if you put your personal faith in Christ as your Savior!

Until we are prepared to die, we are not prepared to live. "To live is to know Christ, to die is to gain,"

Do not let this slogan be in vain, for God's grace and peace will be with us whether we remain in this world or pass through it.

Instead than regretting your comments, it is better to swallow your pride. Protect yourself from hate and cruel comments if you want to be truly happy and maintain your peace of mind.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. — Ecclesiastes 3:11

 Although King Solomon claimed in Ecclesiastes that everything is useless from a strictly human perspective (1:2), he also took into account God's perspective. Inferring from our existence's creative and destructive cycle (3:1–8), he came to the conclusion that everything is beautiful in its own time (v. 11). He understood that when we view life through the lens of eternity, we will be able to appreciate the beauty of God's ways. 

But Solomon also understood that not all of our questions have been answered by God (v. 11). He counseled us to meet life's challenges with faith rather than despair and to accept the wonderful things in life with thankfulness.

When we have genuine faith, we can recognize that even a terminal condition can be "beautiful in its time." 

A diamond glows more the more it is sliced. I give my remaining days to You, Lord. Take me, break me, and shape me according to the design You have in mind.
