Leviticus 8:8KJV
The breastplate, glimpsed in these divine texts, is more than symbolic apparel; it is the vital guard of the soul's core. It signifies righteousness, yes, but a righteousness actively lived, a faith unwavering in the face of spiritual combat. The heart, the seat of intellect and will, the very engine of our pursuit of God, requires this robust defence against the insidious arrows aimed at crippling our spiritual vitality. To clothe oneself in this armour is to embrace the rigorous discipline of the intellectual life, protecting the mind and heart from the poison of error and lukewarmness. It is to stand, not merely in passive expectation, but in active readiness, shielded by grace, prepared for the strenuous demands of sanctity. Let this inspire a vigilant self-examination, a renewed commitment to fortify the inner life with the true, divine protection.
