Weekly Creative Devotional

Opening Prayer

Father, as we meditate on Your Word, help us to understand the strength You offer in our daily battles. Equip us with Your armor so that we may stand firm in faith and walk in Your love. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

REFLECTION

The Apostle Paul encourages us to be strong in the Lord and to put on His full armor to withstand the schemes of the devil. This passage reminds us that our strength does not come from our own abilities but from God’s might and power. In life, we face spiritual battles – temptations, doubts, fears, and distractions that try to pull us away from God’s purpose. But Paul’s words remind us that God equips us with everything we need to stand firm. His armor is not just for protection but for action – arming us to advance His kingdom with courage and confidence. Consider:

• What areas of your life do you need God’s strength to stand firm against the enemy’s schemes?
• How can you actively “put on” God’s armor in your daily life?
• How might you help someone else discover the strength they have in God?

MEMORIZING THE VERSE

Focus on Ephesians 6:10-11 (ESV): Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. As you go through this week, reflect on God’s power to help you face challenges. Write this verse in a prominent place, like your bathroom mirror or journal, and remind yourself that His armor equips you to face every trial.  

CREATING AND MEDITATING

Choose a creative activity: Option 1: Armor of God Illustration. Create a simple drawing or collage that represents the armor of God. Label each part – belt of truth, breastplate of righteousness, shoes of peace, shield of faith, helmet of salvation, and sword of the Spirit – and meditate on how each piece strengthens you. Option 2: Strengthened by God’s Armor Journal. Take a few moments each day to journal about how God is strengthening you for spiritual battles. Reflect on any struggles you are facing and how each piece of the armor is helping you stand firm.  

TAKING ACTION AND APPLYING

This week, intentionally pray on the armor of God each morning before you face your daily tasks. Ask God to strengthen you with His power and help you stand firm in truth, righteousness, and peace. Seek opportunities to encourage others with these truths as well.  

Hymn

 

Put On the Whole Armor

1 Put on the whole armor, the armor of God, And fight the good fight of faith; For Jesus is Captain, and you doth He call To stand in His name till death.

Refrain: Put on the armor of God, Fight ye the good fight of faith; Go forth for Jesus your Lord, And stand in His name till death.

2 Put on the whole armor, the armor of God, For powers of hell oppose, And deadly and dark at each unguarded step, Are lying in wait your foes. [Refrain]

3 Put on the whole armor, the armor of God, And taking His Word in hand, Be instant and earnest in watching and prayer, And, having done all, to stand. [Refrain]

4 Put on the whole armor, the armor of God, And hardness thro’ all endure; Look up to the prize of your calling so high, The triumph at last so sure. [Refrain]

Words: Palmer Hartsough, Music: Finley Lyon

 

Closing Prayer

Father, thank You for the strength You provide through Your armor. Help us to remember that we are not alone in our battles, and that Your might and power are sufficient for all our needs. Equip us daily to stand firm in You, and let us be a light to others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

ABOUT OUR MINISTRY

We are a non-denominational Bible-believing Christian Ministry trained and equipped at the Christian Leaders Institute. Even though our Ministry is based on God's Word, the Bible, you need to approach our teachings like the Bereans and always study the Bible yourself to see if what we teach is aligned with what is written in the Bible.  

Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. Acts 17:11 NIV  

We are only humans who 'stumble in many ways' (James 3:2) and we only 'know in part and we prophesy in part' (1 Corinthians 13:9).
