How's your sword ?

[steve in so la]

In Ephesians 6, we are told as believers to take up the whole armor of God. But have you ever noticed there is only one weapon listed that is both defensive and offensive? God has given us the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. That is what Jesus used. And that is what we need to use. As the psalmist said, "Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You" (Psalm 119:11).

What shape is your sword in today? Is it polished from daily use and sharpened on the anvil of experience? Or is it rusty from lack of preparation or dulled by disobedience?

Take time for the Word of God. Make it a top priority to not only read the Bible, but to memorize it. It will prepare your heart for what you will face throughout the day.

Man saying the world will end tells a woman she had better get ready with the Lord. She replies "I don't have to get ready - I stay ready". steve

At church a couple of Sunday's ago, my son in Children's church was asked if he "brought his sword", he replied "Does a dagger count?" and held up his Giddeons New Testament and Psalms.
God bless,

I wonder why so many go to church and don't carry their sword. If they don't take it to church I dount they are taking it into battle.
