Ephesians
6:17
"Take the
helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
NIV
"And take
the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
KJV
A sword that rests
in its scabbard is useless for battle. Likewise, the Bible collecting dust on
the mantle is useless. Jesus used the Word of God to overcome Satan in the
wilderness because He made it a priority to know the Word and have it ready in
His heart and mind. We must do the same. Hide the Word in our hearts daily and
keep the sword in hand, ready to throw down the evil attacks of the
enemy.
Heavenly Father,
give us greater hunger for the Word of God. Help us to hide it in our hearts and
stand ready to use it when the enemy comes lurking and seeking to destroy us.
With the Word of God, we have the weapon that cannot be conquered. In Jesus'
name we pray, Amen.
