Whose Armor Are You Wearing?: I Samuel 15-17
Manage episode 506469646 series 3382770
I'd love to hear from you, text me your thoughts!
We are told to "put on the armor of God". We are told that we have the ability to do that, but it's an important distinction that not just anyone can put on God's armor- it's only those whose identity has been rooted in Christ. Only Christians can take up God's protection.
Saul wanted to be a good king, but it's pretty clear that his identity, his self-worth and self-esteem were not rooted in God... they were rooted in man. His stability and saftey revolved around what men thought of him. And this was his biggest downfall. His armor was ill-fitting and not able to provide protection to David when it was offered... David already had another armor on. What a powerful visual for us to understand that an identity rooted in Christ allows us to walk very differently in the world, provides us mental and emotional peace and confidence that those who root their identity in the world can never know.
