Some mornings feel like a fight before you ever leave the house. Today we slow the rush, open Ephesians 6:11, and get practical about how to “put on all of God’s armor” so you can stand firm against real pressures and subtle attacks that aim at your weak spots. We talk about the enemy’s strategy without fear-mongering, and we focus on what God has already provided: truth that steadies your mind, righteousness that guards your heart, the gospel of peace that directs your steps, faith that absorbs the unexpected, salvation that secures your identity, and the Word that sharpens your responses.

I walk through a simple daily habit—read Ephesians 6:10–18, write down each piece of armor, and ask the Holy Spirit to help you put it on before the day begins. This isn’t about spiritual theatrics; it’s about arriving to real life ready. If you’ve felt scattered, anxious, or easily thrown off, consider this your recalibration. We also pray together, thanking God for His provision and asking for the awareness to spot the battle and the courage to stand in the Spirit’s power. Along the way, you’ll hear an honest acknowledgement of vulnerability and a hopeful call to live “armored up” with peace and purpose.

If this reflection helps you face the day with clarity and courage, share it with a friend who could use a lift, subscribe for daily wisdom, and leave a quick review so more people can find the message.

Still Standing: Living After the Silence, the Storm, and the Shattered Heart is the powerful second book in the Standing Series. Building on the best-selling Struggle to Standing, this new release guides you through life after heartbreak with hope, healing, and faith. Now available on Amazon in paperback, hardcover.

00:00:02.240 --> 00:00:07.759
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:08.880
I'm Rick.

00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:14.000
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:17.839
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom.

00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.760
Ready to feel inspired?

00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.519
Let's get started.

00:00:23.600 --> 00:00:26.000
Today is day 282.

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.800
Stand firm in the power of God.

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:34.320
From Ephesians chapter 6, verse 11, from the New Living Translation.

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:42.159
Put on all of God's armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.

00:00:43.439 --> 00:00:46.320
The enemy is strategic.

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.560
He knows where you're vulnerable and he won't hesitate to attack.

00:00:52.880 --> 00:00:55.359
But God hasn't left you unprotected.

00:00:55.679 --> 00:00:59.280
He's given you spiritual armor to stand firm.

00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:07.359
That means you need to be covered in truth, righteousness, faith, and God's word every day.

00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:13.040
When you live armored up, you can withstand any scheme the enemy throws your way.

00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:18.879
Today I want you to read Ephesians chapter 6, verses 10 through 18.

00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:27.200
Write down each piece of God's armor and ask the Holy Spirit to help you put it on as you go about your day.

00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:28.959
Pray with me.

00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:33.439
Father God, thank you for equipping me with your armor.

00:01:33.760 --> 00:01:39.359
Help me to live aware of the battles around me and stand firm in the power of your spirit.

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:42.319
In Jesus' precious name I pray.

00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:43.439
Amen.

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.200
Well, that's all for today.

00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:52.560
But I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's word.
