The Breastplate and Helmet
Rev. Dr. Walter Maier III
Twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost - Sermon Text: 1 Thessalonians 5:8; Readings: Psalm 90:1-12; 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11; Matthew 25:14-30
Our spiritual enemies — the devil, the unbelieving world, and our own sinful nature — are constantly trying to put fear, worry, discouragement, and sinful anger into our hearts, and falsehood and deception into our minds. Thus, the apostle Paul urges us to put on the breastplate and helmet — equipment from God.
Blessed to Bless Others
Even to your old age I am he, and to gray hairs I will carry you.
Isaiah 46:4a
At 93, I count each day I am still on earth as an extended blessing. When I awake in the morning free of pain, I realize it is another day God has given me to call, to visit, or to write to someone. It is another opportunity for me to pray for others. I have known and experienced an extra measure of God’s goodness throughout my life. He has blessed me with faith, family, friends, church, health, a home, and much, much more. When I experienced difficulties and disappointments, God always carried me through. And I know and trust that He will continue to be with me until the day when I draw my last breath on earth to awaken to the joys of heaven.
