I have a statue of a knight sitting on my desk in my office. I look at it and I am reminded that we should put on our spiritual armour. In spiritual warfare we must always be at the ready so we are protected when the enemy attacks us. In scripture it goes into detail on how to prepare yourself for spiritual battle using the roman armour as an example. But a like the inspiration of the medieval suit of armour. It has protection from on all sides. The armour was somewhat heavy but after a while of being in battle the person wearing it got used to the weight.

The same can be said with spiritual armour. It may seem restrictive to protect our hearts from certain activities like certain foods, or movies or not participating in an event you feel conviction about. But we each have our own style and design of protection in the Lord and after a while we can get used to it. I am reminded by my little statue to try to always be armoured up and ready for that days battle.
