God has covered us with a garment of Light.

God Himself is encircled by what Scripture calls a garment of light. Psalm 104:1-2 says, “O Lord my God…You are clothed with honor and majesty—[You are the One] Who covers Yourself with light as with a garment…” (The Amplified Bible).

The above is a description of the glory of God.

Adam was created in God’s image and God “crowned him with glory and honour” (Psalm 8:5). Psalm 93 tells us, “As he sang God’s praises, Adam truly looked Divine, because he was a reflection of God’s image.” Adam looked just like God and he was clothed in the glory of God. He wore a garment of light.

When Adam sinned, the glory departed from him and he lost that crown of honor. But thank God that Jesus got back everything in the redemption that Adam lost in the Fall.

As believers in Christ, we are temples of the living God. He goes everywhere we go when we are filled with Him. God lives in us and we should radiate His presence and love. He has covered us with a garment, or shield, of light. We may not always be able to see it, but rest assured, beings in the spirit realm (including devils and demons) see and recognize the glory of God on us.
