wear your helmet

Soldiers and some athletes and motorcycle rides wear helmets to protect themselves from traumatic head injury. Your head is at greater risk in these situations than the rest of your body.  Some people don’t wear helmets because they are not exposed to such risks. Yet my word describes a helmet of salvation as part of your armor. In this case everyone is at risk, for everyone’s mind is spiritually vulnerable. The weapons of your warfare are not carnal, and neither are your defenses. Your helmet of salvation enables you to resist the attacks of the enemy and take every thought captive in obedience to me.
