Subject: Please explain breastplate of righteous |
Bible Note: Thank you Hank. I was very angry and I guess a part of me prehaps still is. I tried to replace that anger with my faith in God- I keep telling myself that God is in control. I keep sharing His word and witnessing to everyone I can. I was asked to be on a panel to discuss the armour of God. I began to read and found myself feeling like a hipocrit because I had problems equipping myself even though I knew how and at one time felt pretty good in the Word. How can I tell someone else what to do when I can't myself. So I began to search myself and pray. I found myself asking what is righteous and where was it when I lost my son. I guess I am still angry. I won't give up. God Is My Strength!!Satan won't take my joy. I was angry with myself, and my son, and yes God. It has been one thing after the other. Whatever I tell someone else, it's something that I practice or I really believed. I try not to tell people something that I don't do myself or believe myself. On my job I witness to everyone I can. I have always been taught that christians should always give praises to God even in the mist of trouble. I want to give Him all the praise and glory. He IS My All and All. I know this-I'm just having a problem really deep in my soul understanding. You see, about (6) months ago, someone broke in my house-I was raped-then my son-I've got to make it!! Thank you again-Please pray for me. |
