Custom Fitted Armor- It Grows Like a Superhero's

No two people are the same.   Even identical twins have different fingerprints. Why should we think that our armor is the same?

Take a look at the armor chapter, Ephesians chapter six and you will see that the bulk of the chapter is behavioral oriented:

1. Children obey your parents; (obey)
2. Honor your father and mother. (honor)
3.That it may... (a result of the doing)
4.Father's don't exasperate children. (don't)
5. Servants obey. (obey)
6., 7, 8 the how to any why explanations
9. Masters treat your servants... (treat)
10. Be strong. (be)
11. Put on the whole armor. (put on)
12. Our struggle is not with flesh and blood. (explanation why)
13. Put on the armor so you can stand. (strategy)
14. Stand with the belt, (stand), wearing the breastplate of righteousness. (wearing;  acting in accord with divine or moral law)
15.Having our feet fitted. (putting on shoes)
16.Taking helmet of salvation and sword of the spirit (taking up and putting on)

Mother and fathers are different, children are different, employees and employers are different. We are all at different places in our understanding and wisdom. Each of our situations are different.

The important thing is this: Our armor is a living thing. It grows as we grow.The more obstacles we overcome the stronger and more effective our armor becomes. It flexes and fits us like a superhero's does!
