Put on All Your Armor: The Helmet of Salvation
Everybody knows how vulnerable the head is. Even if an infantryman is wearing no other kind of body armor, he will always wear his helmet into battle.
One of the most dramatic scenes in "Saving Private Ryan" occurs in the Allied assault on the Normandy beaches. An American soldier hears a bullet clang off his helmet. He takes off the helmet and admires the dent left by the bullet. A second bullet then pierces his unprotected head, killing him instantly.
Where do you think you are most vulnerable to Satan? In the head, of course. Satan will try to mess up your thinking and fill your head full of his lies. Maybe he will flatter you into pride. Maybe he will lull you into apathy. Maybe he will call you a failure, hopeless and helpless, isolated and weak before his superior power. But the Bible says in Ephesians 6:11,17, “Put on the full armor of God. . . . Take the helmet of salvation.” Put these words in your head at all times: “Jesus Christ has defeated you, Satan. I have been saved by God’s Son himself. Away with you! Go back to hell.”
