When I get up in the morning I do what all of us do normally – I get dressed for the day. My physical getting dressed is not a big deal for me. I am properly the world’s most boring dresser. Most of the time it is jeans and varying tops depending on the weather.
I hope I take more time and dedication and though to my spiritual dress for the day. Sadly, as little time as I give to putting on my clothes I am afraid there re days when I give even less thought to being spiritually prepared.
‘Put on Jesus is’ we are told here. That seems like a prefect summary of being told to put on the whole armour of God.
What does it mean to put on Jesus? I think it just means that when people see me they ought to see more of Jesus and less of Roger. If I am putting on Jesus people will see Him in the way I walk and talk and respond and how I meet needs and care for others. They will see Him when I am in crisis. They will see Him in the face of bad news and and illness and financial troubles and need.
Every day remind me Lord to ‘put on Jesus.’
