My haiku series based on Ephesians 6:13-18

wrestling with evil wear complete suit of armor ~ conquer with courage rescued from onslaught lies and misinformation ~ loins girded with truth safeguarding our hearts resisting the evil day ~ righteousness’ breastplate love for our neighbor giving’s greater happiness ~ feet shod with good news strongly entrenched things evil one’s burning missiles ~ faith’s protective shield empty deceptions soundness of mind endangered ~ salvation’s helmet God’s Word is alive source of unending wonder ~ sword of the spirit seek help from on high trust the one who is unseen ~ pray incessantly

I love this too. A blessed series of haiku reflecting on the spiritual armor of Christian believers. My favorite the next to last ~sword of the spirit. But all are well written. Thanks for sharing.
