The Sword of the Spirit
Reading: Hebrews 4:12-13; Matthew 4:1-11
Devotional: The Sword of the Spirit is your only offensive weapon—the living, active Word of God. It pierces through deception, dividing truth from lies, exposing hearts, and defeating the enemy. Notice how Jesus defeated Satan during temptation: He simply quoted Scripture. The Word stands on its own power. But you cannot wield what you don't know. Reading isn't enough; you must study, meditate, and internalize God's Word until it becomes part of you. The Word isn't just a book—it's Jesus Himself, living and breathing through His Spirit in you. As you face the intensifying spiritual battle ahead, your survival depends on knowing and speaking God's Word with confidence. Today, commit to deeper engagement with Scripture. Memorize verses relevant to your struggles. Let the Word dwell richly within you, ready to be drawn when battle comes.
