"Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, 'Lest the Hebrews make swords and spears.' ... So it came about, on the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people [except Saul and Jonathan]........"
I Samuel 13:19, 22
A lot of Christians are like the Israelites. They have no swords. They expect their leaders (Pastors) to know the Bible. But the Enemy of Christ has done a good job of keeping many Believers from having the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:17), because he knows it is a powerful tool. Jesus used the Scriptures to thwart Satan in His temptations (see Luke 4:1-13). It is important to keep our Sword honed daily to meet the attacks of the devil.
Today's Thought: Christians need the Sword of the Spirit to resist the enemy of their soul.
Have a "sharp" day. Love you.
