Ephesians 6:17 NASB "And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God"Each time I went down there, I forgot to put it on! Our first house had a basement with a low ceiling and each time I went down there...BANG!, I would hit my head on the beam! Today we learn two parts of the Armor of God, the helmet and the sword of the Spirit! There at the top of the stairs was my construction helmet but I was in such a hurry to get down to the basement I never took the time to put it on. Only when I hit my head did I say "I need to put on the helmet!!" In life, there will be those things that hurt our head if we don't put on the helmet of salvation. It can protect us from thoughts that don't line up with God's Word, it can help us keep our focus on Christ but sadly many of us wait till it's too late like me in the basement - without the helmet, we end up getting hurt. Let's put it on today and everyday and protect our mind, for that is where satan wants to hurt us the most! peace, tom
