July 17
Introduction
Paul offers encouragement to the Ephesians to remain strong against what he calls “wicked spiritual forces” (6:12). He describes the spiritual armor of God that will help them guard against evil. Then he exhorts them to pray continually for one another.
Today’s Scripture Reading
Ephesians 6:10-24
Today’s Key Verse: Ephesians 6:18b
"Pray on every occasion, as the Spirit leads. For this reason, keep alert and never give up; pray always for all God’s people."
Reflect
Reread verses 10-17. Paul uses militaristic imagery as he describes a spiritual armor that comes from God. How can such spiritual armor protect you? What spiritual armor do you especially need today?
Pray
God of peace, thank you for your protection. Give me the resources I need to stand against the devil’s evil tricks and wicked spiritual forces, and clothe me with your righteousness. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those serving in the armed forces
Tomorrow’s Reading
