Light Reflection-Ephesians 6:17 Sword of the Spirit
JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Ephesians 6:17.
Take….the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God.
The sword of the Spirit is armor of light that helps us to go on offense in our spiritual battles. This sword is God’s Word.
Many of the weapons of righteousness are defensive in nature, designed to protect us from the attacks of the enemy in the heavenly realms. But the sword of the Spirit helps us to advance the Gospel by applying the word of God in our conversation and daily activity.
In order to apply God’s word, we need to know it. That is where we are blessed by opening our mind and heart to what God is saying to us in the Bible.
The word of God is effective for helping us to know God, overcoming temptation, preparing us for effective service, and for sharing good news with others.
This Light Reflection inspires us to stand firm in the faith with the sword of the Spirit in the Year to Shine.
