Get Your Own Armour

1 Samuel 17:38-39



And Saul armed David with his armour, and he put an helmet of brass upon his head; also he armed him with a coat of mail. And David girded his sword upon his armour, and he assayed to go; for he had not proved it. And David said unto Saul, "I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them". And David put them off him.

David was going out to face Goliath, and Saul tried giving him his arour. But David had never tried them in battle, however, he knew he had Someone who had delivered him from a lion and a bear. He had the Lord, he tried Him and proved Him, and David knew God was with him.



So many times, we as Christians go out to face the world, wearing someone else's armour, hiding behind their convictions. But we haven't tried their armour, we don't know where their weakest points are in their life. We don't know where their weakest link is, and we don't know if their armour will withstand the world's attack.



We need need to get our own armour, get own shield. Don't worry if your armour isn't as shiny or colorful as other people's may be, just start making your own armour.

We don't need the armour that looks the fiercest or the strongest, all we need to do is know that the Lord Who protected David is still with us today, and that He is our Shield and Buckler.
