Hope Series 18 – Manna by Callies
Theme: Hope of Salvation
Ephesians 6:17 "And take the helmet of salvation . . ."
1 Thessalonians. 5:8 “which is “the hope of salvation.”
Are you struggling with problems within yourself? What are you thinking of?
Sometimes our minds are open to any thought that comes our ways unexpectedly.
Even if you may wonder, "Where did those thoughts came from?"
Paul, the Epistle writer, knows this so well which he advised us to take the
helmet of salvation. The word salvation means, saving a person from danger or
evil or even sins. Saving us from whom? Our fight are against the devil's
tricks (Eph. 6:11). How do we do something about it?
If you know the
powerful word, TAKE. It means to lay hold of. It is like 'grasp' such as 'take
my hand'. Another meaning for TAKE is to capture every thought and put it under
the helmet of saving us from downfall with wrong thoughts.
So Holy Spirit is encouraging us to TAKE "the helmet of salvation”, which
is “the hope of salvation” (1 Thess. 5:8). When we struggle with our thoughts,
we have the power to speak God's word, "I put on the helmet which is the
hope of salvation for me." It feels good to know that God's Word is there
for us.
So praise the Lord, we have helmet of hope!
