Clothe Yourself |
|
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE |
|
“Clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah), and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature]...” |
(Romans 13:14, AMP) |

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria |
Is
there something in your life that you would like to put a stop to
today? Maybe it’s a certain behavior, addiction or bad attitude that
isn’t pleasing to God. When Adam and Eve disobeyed in the garden, the
first thing God did was to put clothing on them. They needed to be
covered. In the same way, you and I need to be covered today. What
should we cover or clothe ourselves with?
When
you “clothe yourself” with the Lord Jesus Christ, you will be protected
and able to stand strong against temptation. How do you clothe yourself
with Jesus Christ? First of all, when you receive Jesus as your Lord
and Savior, you are covered and
cleansed by His blood. You are restored and renewed. Then, just as you
get dressed daily, you have to daily “cover” your mind with the Word of
God. That means you cover every point that has access to your thoughts.
Cover your ears by listening to the Word. Cover your eyes by watching
only what is pleasing to the Lord. Cover your mouth by speaking the Word
and encouraging those around you. As you cover yourself with Christ,
you’ll be strong against temptation, you’ll walk in victory, and you’ll
experience the good things He has in store for you!
