From Pastor Gary…

And take the helmet of salvation, (Ephesians 6: 17a)
The helmet protects the head. The helmet protects our mind. Salvation is our helmet. Salvation through Jesus is our hope. Satan would have us live in uncertainty, worry, and despair, but we wrap our mind with the hope we have in Christ Jesus. We live in the assurance of His victory over our enemies, and the assurance of heaven. When the enemy would tempt us to focus on the worries of the world, we fix our minds on Christ and His promise of the forgiveness of sin and eternal life.

​Verse for today:
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.   (1 Peter 1:13)
