God’s word penetrates
and convicts. His word heals and comforts. The weapons of our warfare listed in
Ephesians 6 are all defensive, all but one. Read these verses with me:
Take the
helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.
Ephesians 6:17
For the word
of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates
even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and
attitudes of the heart. Hebrews 4:12
The sword of the
Spirit is the word of God. Feeling powerless? Read Scripture aloud. It is alive
and true and it can break down strongholds in your life. It will bring your
devastated heart comfort and give you strength for another day. It cleanses,
creates and clarifies life. Invest in it as you would in silver and gold. It is
more precious than both.
The law
from Your mouth is more precious to me than thousands of pieces of silver and
gold. Psalm 119:72
Lord,
We thank You for the treasures discovered in the word of God.
Change our lives to be in line with it. It cuts to our hearts and renews our
souls. Give us understanding and wisdom to walk in Your ways.
Amen
