“Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness.” – Ephesians 6:14 (NLT)
Every day, you step onto a battlefield—whether you’re a wife, mom, worker, leader, or all of the above. God didn’t send you out unarmed. He gave you His armor. The first piece? The Belt of Truth. The second? The Breastplate of Righteousness.
In ancient warfare, the belt held everything together and guarded the core. Same for you.
Your core beliefs drive your decisions. If God’s Word isn’t your foundation, life will crush you.
God’s Truth = strength. Everything else = weakness.
You can’t live strong if you’re spiritually starving. No Bible? No strength. No prayer? No power. No time with God? No clarity. Without Truth, you won’t just drift—you’ll fall. But when you put on Truth, everything changes. Your mind clears. Your heart steadies. Your steps strengthen.
The enemy will whisper lies—“You’re not enough. God’s holding out on you. Your past defines you.” Without Truth, those lies take root. With God’s Word? You fight back.
Now, reach for your breastplate—the armor that protects your heart.
The only way to be righteous is to receive God’s righteousness, because your own works don’t save you. Righteousness means being “right with God.” Step one? Admit you’re not. But the moment you trust in Jesus, God sees you as made right through His blood.
That kind of righteousness humbles you. It kills pride and silences shame. It shifts your focus from what you’ve done to what Jesus did.
Truth holds you together. Righteousness guards your heart. Both are essential.
You are not alone. You are not unarmed. You are a Warrior Woman, equipped for battle.
What’s one lie that you need to replace with God’s Truth today and where do you need to stop striving and start resting in Christ’s righteousness?
