Snug

When getting on an airplane, there are certain words that can cause a great amount of anxiety. "Please fasten you seat belt and make sure it's on tight because we're in for a bumpy ride." The stewardess was aware these words fell into that category.

My sister-in-law proceeded to tell me, in detail, about the flight "she will never take again." The short 48 minute flight increased her prayer life and gave her an appreciation for alternative travel arrangements when needed.

We laughed together when her ordeal was over, but I'm sure there was nothing humorous as the plane bounced her around.

Also, there was an added explanation for tightening her belt. "We don't want you to bump into anything." The stewardess said.

Makes sense. Bumping into things can cause bodily harm, especially when you are thousands of feet in the air. My guess is that everyone heeded the instructions they received; instructions that were there for their benefit and protection.

In Ephesians, we are instructed to put on the Belt of Truth. God probably wants us to put it on tight so it will keep us from bumping into some of the attacks that are meant to harm us.

The Christian walk can often times be a "bumpy ride." The Belt of Truth is something God gives to us for our benefit and protection.

I pray I remember to put it on every day...nice and snug.

Just a thought.
