The Belt of Truth

14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist

The Belt of Truth What is the Belt of Truth?

The Belt of Truth is symbolic for the fact that we can’t muster our own truth and salvation. We have to come to Jesus and rely on him for our source of truth and salvation. Jesus is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) and it is only through Him that we come to God.

For cowgirls and cowboys- our belts and buckles symbolize our own Belt of Truth.

May we use the symbol to remind us of God’s ever loving grace and love. That he is the way, the truth, and the life.

May it remind us to come to him in times of weakness and strength.

May we run to him for truth and salvation.

May we trust in his plan for us.

May we stand firm, with the belt of truth buckled around our waist.

Stand firm in Christ, in yourself, in your beliefs and goals. Don’t let the devils schemes phase God’s great plan for you.

Scripture:

Ephesians 6 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit,which is the word of God.
