Put on the full armor of God…with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
The devil is our enemy, and he looks to gain entrance into our lives in any possible way. But God has given us armor that we can put on and wear to protect ourselves from evil attacks. The pieces of armor are the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:10–17).
Have you put on your shoes of peace today? In other words, have you decided to walk in peace today, no matter what happens—even the situations that catch you by surprise? You can be ready for anything as long as you remain at peace, trusting God to help you.
Jesus left us a legacy of His peace, a peace that passes all understanding (John 14:27; Philippians 4:7). God is honored when we remain peaceful in the midst of a raging storm of threatening circumstances. It shows that we trust Him to take care of us. Peace is one of the most beautiful qualities we can possess, so be sure to wear your shoes of peace each day, trusting God with all your heart.
Prayer of the Day: Father, thank You for the shoes of peace. Remind me to put them on daily and trust You to handle the things I can’t. In Jesus’ name, amen.
