One of my favorite movies from the 80s was “The Karate Kid.” In this movie, Daniel was being bullied and wanted to learn the art of karate. Daniel befriends Mr. Miyagi who is a martial arts master. Daniel asked Mr. Miyagi to help him but in the beginning, Daniel was assigned to do work around Mr. Miyagi’s house such as waxing his car, sanding the floor, and painting the fence. Yet, Daniel didn’t realize that all of that work was training him for victory. God gives us what we need to have the victory. Don’t forget to put on the armor of God!

If you want the victory…

God uses the mundane things in life to train us for victory! Never say what you are doing in your life is unimportant. I used to think that because I was a stay at home mom, I wasn’t important. I didn’t have a purpose. If you are a stay at home mom, you are training up your children to become mighty warriors for God. No matter where you and what you do, you have a purpose and you are the light! So don’t forget to put on the full armor of God!

Friends, we are in a war! A war not with a person but “but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this [present] darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) places” (Ephesians 6:12). We must never forget to put on the armor of God!

So don’t forget to put on the full armor of God even if you are at home. The Bible says, “So stand firm and hold your ground, having tightened the wide band of truth around your waist and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, strapped on your feet the gospel of peace in preparation. Above all, lift up the shield of faith with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6: 14-17

I want to end this blog with a reminder to pray! So don’t forget to put on the full armor of God and then PRAY!
