Dressed for Readiness

[S] Luke 3:1 --
35 ``Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.

[O] I get dressed every morning and at times I ponder long enough to decide on what to wear in accordance with my day's activities.  I sure wouldn't want to wear a formal attire when I'm about to go play some soccer.  Likewise, I need to spiritually plan and dress up accordingly to what I am about to face.  Well, every moment is going to be challenging because our opponents will not leave us alone but attack us relentlessly, so I must be dressed in readiness and keep my lamps lit to take action at all times.

[A] This starts with how alert my mind is.  I need to dress up my spiritual armor every morning before I start the day.

[P] Dear Father, may You dress me up every morning to be ready to respond to Your calling as well as to our enemy's attacks.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
