And having on the breastplate of righteousness[Eph v14] The breast is the place that is the biggest target for the enemy to attack,modern police wear body armour.Barnes sees this breastplate of righteousness, as that of,integrity,holiness,purity of life,and sincerity of piety.In 1 Peter 3 v16 we are told that our good behaviour will be means of defeating those who would falsely accuse us.When the enemies of Daniel sought to accuse him,they could find nothing to charge him with[6v4]Our Saviour said that we were to let our light shine before men,that they see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven[Matthew 5 v16 ]A godly life will be a shield of righteousness,how many of us have forgotten this, David did,on a number of occasions,and brought shame upon himself,and trouble.We all have particular weaknesses, which if we do not guard against,can cause us great hurt,and pain,as had Cain who was warned,and failed to heed the warning,and it left a mark on him , for the rest of his life [Genesis 4 ] I wonder are there any chinks in your armour?if so be on your guard, if you don't the enemy will take advantage and cause you a lot of hurt.
A prayer.../Dear God help us to not give evil a place in our lives, indeed deliver us from all evil in Jesus name Amen/
