Protective Equipment
Contributed by Davon Huss on Oct 26, 2009 (message contributor)
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
From John Gillmartin--Somehow, the young man found himself standing directly in the path of an oncoming car. The driver hit her brakes. Before either of them could do anything it seemed the 10 year old was shoulder deep in the windshield of the automobile.
"Are you alright," asked the driver.
From inside the football helmet a squeaky voice responded, "I think so!" The boy, a participant in Pop Warner Football, was on the way home from practice, in full uniform. The driver saw the boy too late to stop. The boy saw the car too late to get out of the way."
From this story we see that it is necessary to have on the proper protective equipment. The devil is out there on the highway of life trying to plow through the children of God walking on the King’s Highway.
