Scripture:

“But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation.”

‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5:8‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Paul tells us here that we are to be clear headed and to be protected by faith and love.  He then says that our helmet is the confidence of our salvation.  Faith and love protect us from whatever comes against us and our salvation keeps our head safe.

Application:

As we walk through these last days, we must remain alert and clearly hearing the word of the Lord.  We must walk in faith and love and never doubt our salvation.  As the end approaches, and during this time of pandemic and trying times culturally, we must live alert and protected at all times.  Now is not the time to stray, but to draw nearer and nearer to the cross of Christ. Now is the time we must turn to the Lord with all our hearts.

Prayer:

Lord God, help me to remain clear minded.  Help me to walk in love and faith and to increase those things in my life.  Teach me to hear Your voice more clearly every day.  I want to work with You to make Your name famous in all the earth.  Let my life and family be covered and protected from any attacks of the enemy that come our way.

Your Forever,

Jeff
