WORDS OF WONDER

* The breastplate of righteousness protects us from satan's devices
   which attack our emotions and will.

* Righteousness within us affects what we do, but what we do does not
   make us righteous.

* Our confidence Must not be in what we have done, not in what we
   have resolved to do, but entirely in what the lord will do.
