Standing Firm in God's Word
Reading
Ephesians 6:10-18 KJV
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Devotional
Paul's description of the armor of God reminds us that we're in a spiritual battle. The enemy's blueprint hasn't changed, but neither has God's protection. Today, focus on the "sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." How can you better equip yourself with Scripture to combat doubt and temptation? Consider memorizing a verse that speaks to an area where you feel vulnerable. Remember, when Jesus was tempted, He responded with "It is written." Let God's word be your defense and your guide.
