Mon.’s Devo - The Armor of God

Read Ex. 39:28-43 The mitre was a tiara or diadem only not like the tiara’s nowadays studded with diamonds. This was made of linen and only worn by the High Priest. The other priests wore bonnets which resemble the kippas worn by devout Jews today. On the mitre they made a gold sign that said “HOLINESS TO THE LORD”. Eph. 6 describes all of these articles of clothing and tells us what they are and why we need them. Ephesians 6:11-17 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, in which you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: The priests needed this armor because he is suppose to be ready to fight the enemies of God’s people as well as atone for the sins of the people. When everyone was finished with their assigned projects they brought them to Moses an he blessed them. Lord, you have given each of us a project to do in the kingdom. May we be equipped and ready to fight so that we might complete our assignments.
