We Gird Our Loins With Truth

Summary:

The believer today must build his life in the Lord if he is going to be able to stand in the spiritual warfare that comes against him. Girding his loins with truth is an essential part of this amour which will protect his emotions from all the fiery darts of the wicked one. Each day we gird our loins with His truth as we build our life in the Lord.
