The Belt of Truth

Ephesians 6:14 “with the belt of truth buckled around your waist.”  If we do not know the truth of God, how can we ever fight against the devil and his schemes?  Satan doesn’t tempt us with things that we wouldn’t like.  Think of Eve in the garden…he used lies and deception to make that apple sound like the most amazing thing that she could ever eat. Ultimately, it led to death and destruction….for the entire world!  Satan will tempt us in the same way…it will look good, feel good, taste good, or give you (false) power!  In John 8:31-32 Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."   Jesus’ teaching is found in His word.  Every situation that you can come across will have a solution in God’s word…but you must read it!  There are some amazing websites that I use. Gotquestions.org is a website that I have found to be very sound and a great help when you need biblical answers.  Also, blueletterbible.com is a great site to look up scripture.  It has a wonderful search feature that can be used to look up any word or phrase.  Use every tool that God gives you to seek out HIS truth.  I challenge you to buckle it around your waist EVERY DAY!  Get in God’s word and KNOW the truth!  You must have it to fight in this battle!
