Armored Trucks

Armored trucks can be seen in traffic, stopped when picking up large amounts of cash and precious items from businesses or at the banks to which they are transporting it. They travel with the purpose of transporting valuable cargo. These armored trucks have some distinct characteristics. The frame and body of these trucks have been specially designed with reinforced metals and glass to withstand any attack from the outside. These trucks are also guarded well by specially trained officers.
These well trained guards have strict orders for behavior while on their route of transporting the precious cargo. They do not stop for somebody waving them down. Their direction is to go straight to the points at which they will pick up or drop off. Although they follow traffic signals along the route, they do not make any additional stops. When something unexpected occurs in their path, such as a closed road or vehicle accident, they are always on high alert. They also remain in contact with a dispatcher who can offer assistance.

We carry a precious cargo of the knowledge and presence of God in our bodies. ^“For God Who said, Let light shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts so as [to beam forth] the Light for the illumination of the knowledge of the majesty and glory of God [as it is manifest in the Person and is revealed] in the face of Jesus Christ (the Messiah).  However, we possess this precious treasure [the divine Light of the Gospel] in [frail, human] vessels of earth, that the grandeur and exceeding greatness of the power may be shown to be from God and not from ourselves.  (2 Corinthians 4:6-7 AMP) We have been entrusted with this treasure by the Almighty, Who has made all of the necessary precautions to see that this treasure is protected and reaches the intended destination.

We have also been provided heavenly armor to reinforce our spiritual minds and bodies. This specially designed armor, which must be put on daily, is made to protect us from all the schemes of the enemy of our soul. “Therefore put on God's complete armor, that you may be able to resist and stand your ground on the evil day [of danger], and, having done all [the crisis demands], to stand [firmly in your place]. Stand therefore [hold your ground], having tightened the belt of truth around your loins and having put on the breastplate of integrity and of moral rectitude and right standing with God, And having shod your feet in preparation [to face the enemy with the firm-footed stability, the promptness, and the readiness produced by the good news] of the Gospel of peace. Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one]. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword that the Spirit wields, which is the Word of God. (Ephesians 6:13-17 AMP) Carefully, we must dress in this armor for the protection of our lives and all that God has called us to give to others.

God has placed a guard on our hearts. He has promised to guard us from behind and lead us from ahead. “The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.” (Psalm 121:7-8 AMP) God guards and protects us at all times and in all circumstances. “…your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity], and the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.” (Isaiah 58:8 AMP) We simply cooperate with the Lord by following this wise instruction. “Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.” (Proverbs 4:23 AMP)
Along life’s path we must not allow distractions to stop us from carrying the presence of God to those who need Him desperately. “Consider well the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established and ordered aright. Turn not aside to the right hand or to the left; remove your foot from evil.” (Proverbs 4:26-27 AMP) We keep our focus on God’s planned path. At any time, when we see potential dangers ahead, it is imperative that we immediately take the time to contact the one who has dispatched us to this world. “And call on Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall honor and glorify Me.” (Psalm 50:15 AMP) The Lord Himself has all the assistance we will ever need and is ready in an instant to send His resources to us. “For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].” (Psalm 91:11 AMP)
So we reinforce our lives by putting on the armor of God. We do not look to the right or to the left but carry on the mission the Lord has called us upon. And we stay ever in contact with the God who provides the strength and protection for all that we need.
Carry the precious love of God to those who need Him. Do not allow troubles or worldly distractions to prevent you from reaching your destination.
