Tired or Attired?
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth.

Our English word "gird" reminds us of a "girdle," but that conjures up the wrong image. Though older translations used the word "girdle," they were referring to the belt or sash worn in biblical times around the waist or chest. Weapons were sometimes attached, for the Bible speaks of girding on one's sword. When running, people tucked their robes into their belts to race more freely (1 Peter 1:13). The girdle was the sash that held the rest of the clothing together.
Paul likened it to truth. In a day when many people believe truth is relative, the Bible teaches that God's truth is absolute and that His truth is inscribed and encapsulated in His Word. It's the truth that holds the rest of our armor together and enables us to fight with mental freedom. When we're convinced that all the Bible is altogether true, we're outfitted for victory. Our minds are composed; our weapons ready. Without a knowledge of God's truth, we're not well-attired. We're just tired.
Wear the truth, say it, sing it, and you will be amazed how the difficulty will be subdued; for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.
