Seeking Him

Walking!! I got the ok to start walking on with out the cast last week. It's been a little painful, but nothing that can't be dealt with. It has been quite a process. It's amazing the little things you appreciate once you weren't able to do them. :) I was finally able to walk down steps for real on Wednesday. Normally i'd have to do them one at a time. So, my range of motion is getting much better as i'm using the ligaments and muscles. I'm looking forward to be able to finally get to work out at the gym.

As far as spiritually...everything has been centered around Ephesians 6 recently. More specifically starting in verse 10. Everywhere I turn, and everything i'm listening to, I hear the Lord challenging me to just stand. Kinda ironic, now that I finally can now stand for real on my own two feet. I went to study it a little more in the amplified and loved what it had to say.

10In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].
11Put on God's whole armor [the armor of a heavy-armed soldier which God supplies], that you may be able successfully to stand up against [all] the strategies and the deceits of the devil.
12For we are not wrestling with flesh and blood [contending only with physical opponents], but against the despotisms, against the powers, against [the master spirits who are] the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spirit forces of wickedness in the heavenly (supernatural) sphere.
13Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place].
14Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God,
15And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the [a]firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness [b]produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace.(B)
