The Armor of God: Part II

This series discusses how to apply the armor of God in Ephesians 6 to our workplace challenges. We previously discussed the belt of truth.

The second tool Paul listed is the breastplate of righteousness. In the story of Daniel, his jealous peers try to find a way to destroy Daniel. But they were finding it impossible because Daniel was truly a righteous man.

In Daniel 6:5, we read, “Finally these men said, ‘We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.’”

The best way to defend against evil is to follow and obey God’s Word proactively. Being a righteous leader makes it very difficult for others to tarnish your reputation.

Questions For Reflection

1. What does the word “righteous” mean to you? Can you think of anyone you believe is righteous, and what makes them so?
2. What would righteousness look like in your personal life? What might righteousness look like in business, and in what ways do they overlap?
