Did you pick the right clothes this morning? If you are going to go paint a room you wear old clothes, because paint may spill on you. If you are going to dig dirt or move trash, you may possibly wear gloves. Each form of clothing can be viewed as a form of protection or barrier.
I’m wondering how many people wake up and think, what spiritual clothing should I wear today. We’ve learned about breastplates of righteousness, helmets of salvation and other items that represent the armor of God.
To take a walk down a modern road, we may say… did you put on your shirt of peace, your pants of steadfastness, your hat of happiness, your jacket of compassion, did you use your toothbrush of smiles, did you put on your watch of patience.
And since the greater part of the world learns in multiple ways, let’s play charades and actually walk through the process of putting on our new spiritual gear. Speak into the air, the items that you are putting on this morning and go through the process. Is it silly…? I don’t think so. This may be the only reminder that you get today, that helps to mold your steps.
Now, if you go to work and ask your team, to follow this mini exercise of faith, I can’t guarantee that you won’t get weird looks for the rest of the work week.
Go in faith and peace with substance that is graspable.
