Spiderman is now real. Or at least one company thinks so. In a September 2014 article posted on Kable’s army-technology.com website, a new wearable exosuit discreetly worn under the clothing and operated by cables attached to key parts of the body can prevent musculoskeletal injuries and provide “small but carefully timed assistance at the joints.”
The title of the article begins with “Flexible ‘Spiderman’ Exosuits…”
DARPA, the U.S. military’s research division, has anted up $2.9 million to develop the wearable robot exoskeleton.
However, as Christians, we’ve known Spiderman was real all along. We’ve always had a wearable exoskeleton we could slip on under our clothing, one unseen to the world around us, but able to give us “carefully timed assistance at the critical moments” in our lives.
Read about our wearable spiritual exoskeleton in these verses:
Ephesians 6:10 tells us the benefit we will get from our spiritual exoskeleton:
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.”
Ephesians 6:11 tells us why our spiritual exoskeleton is so vital:
“Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:12 tells us who will test our spiritual exoskeleton:
“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:13 tells us how long our battery pack will last:
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.”
Ephesians 6:14-17 describes our spiritual exoskeleton in precise detail:
“Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.”
Hebrews 4:12 tells us the amount of damage we will be able to inflict on our enemy:
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
DARPA has nothing on God. The Wyss Institute at Harvard University, developer of the wearable Spiderman exoskeleton, didn’t create something brand new.
God’s exoskeleton has been in use for the last 2,000 years. We call it the Word of God.
When we put on God, we become stronger than we really are.
