God’s Word Is Our Protection

2 min read

Scripture

For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart. - Hebrews 4:12 (AMP)

The Word of God is a powerful weapon we can use to fight our battles in life. It shows us who we are in Christ and teaches us how to defeat the enemy through God’s strength. That’s why it’s so important to know it, love it, obey it and use it against the enemy as he comes against us.

Just as Jesus responded to the devil by speaking God’s Word, we need to declare the Word of God when the enemy tries to deceive us. If we will actively choose to learn God’s Word and be determined to trust the Truth it brings, we will be free to live an overcoming life in Christ. Knowing what God’s Word says—and then doing what it says—is one of the greatest weapons we have to win life’s battles!

Tip

“God’s Word is referred to as the sword of the Spirit. As we speak the Word, it is like we are wielding a sword, using it to protect ourselves and attack our enemy, the devil. Satan hates to be reminded of God’s promises.”
— Joyce Meyer

Study Suggestion

Read Matthew 4:1-10. Think about how Jesus used the Word of God, or the sword of the Spirit to defeat the devil. Find scriptures you can use as your “sword” in the battles you are facing.

Day 95: No Blessing Goes Uncontested (Psalm 41:1–6, Luke 9:57–10:24, Deuteronomy 1:1–2:23 Psalm 41:1–6 For the director of music. A psalm of David. 1  Blessed are those who have regard for the weak;    the LORD delivers them in times of trouble. 2  The LORD protects and preserves them—    they are counted among the blessed in the land—    he does not give them over to the desire of their foes. 3  The LORD sustains them on their sickbed    and restores them from their bed of illness. 4  I said, “Have mercy on me, LORD;    heal me, for I have sinned against you.” 5  My enemies say of me in malice,    “When will he die and his name perish? ” 6  When one of them comes to see me,    he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander;    then he goes out and spreads it around.
