Acts 12:8
"Then the angel said to him, 'Gird yourself and tie on your sandals'; and so he did. And he said to him, 'Put on your garment and follow me.'"
Be prepared. The angel was telling Peter to get ready for the road ahead. God sometimes does this; warns us for the battles ahead, so we can equip ourselves accordingly. Would I quickly "gird" myself and follow the Lord's calling for my life when I had no indication of where it led. I can say, I do believe I would. Recently, I have been strengthening myself in the Lord, making less of me, and more of Him, where I can confidently say that I want to do His will. I want to leap and prepare myself for whatever He has for me. To listen to His voice, and honor His commands, so I will be ready for anything. Whatever garments, whether of patience, love, discernment, knowledge, strength, trust, I am willing to clothe myself in these. I am willing to listen to God's commandments toward me so that I will be able to follow Him without hesitation.
I need to constantly be in the word, learning more about what God's commands to me are. With this knowledge, I need to clothe myself in all of the things He asks of me, so that I can be ready for all of the things I have ahead in my life.
2 Corinthians 3:3 "clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us, written not with ink, but by the Spirit of the Living God, not on tablets of stone, but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the heart."
