“But we belong to the day. So we must stay sober and let our faith and love be like a suit of armor. Our firm hope that we will be saved is our helmet” (I Thessalonians 5:8, CEV).
Anyone else out there feel as though darkness is running rampant through our world right now? I need to remind myself often that I belong to the light, and I do not need to fear what is happening around me. We are given instruction as to how to handle this season of chaos in many Scriptures, one being the one above.
How to Handle Uncertain Times
Be Sober
We must be sober. To be sober means to be marked by seriousness in demeanor and speech.
Stay Alert
We must be alert and aware of what is happening in the spirit realm.
Be Wise
We must also be wise with our words, always cautious of how we speak to others.
Suit Up
We must let our faith and love be a suit of armor. Armor protects important, life-sustaining organs. Your faith and love for God and others will literally stand guard at your heart and deflect lies from the enemy. We must wear our hope for salvation like a helmet. This helmet will protect your mind, and now more than ever, our minds need to be protected by the best security system.
Let’s choose to filter our thoughts, decisions, actions, and words through God’s Word and we will thrive during uncertain times!
