The Belt

This little item is important to my wardrobe. It’s sort of considered an assessor. I’m not really picky about my belt, I just want it to work properly. In fact I’m so easy, I have mainly one belt and it’s reversible – I wear it on the black side with black & gray pants and on the brown side with khakis and jeans. A belt is important to help hold my pants up. It also often holds my cell phone case. For police officers, it holds weapons, handcuffs and possibly their radio. I remember a verse in the Word speaking of a belt of truth. Isaiah speaks to the belt of righteousness. Check this out…

I love this foretelling of Jesus coming. Isaiah was quite a prophet and his words prepared the way for the Word of God to be introduced as Jesus. I love how he speaks to the depth of Who Jesus was and how He would serve and work while here. After reading this passage, I began to think of my belt as a reminder that I need to be held up and held together by righteousness and faithfulness. I’m thinking that my undershirt – the one that touches my skin, remind me of being faithful and the belt of righteousness hold my wardrobe together. (Don’t laugh – it’s the little things.)

I really want to live faithful before the Lord. I want my words and activities to be righteous before Him. He is the One Who knows me like no one else.
