Sword of the Spirit

I hope you are really jumping into using your CTB bible.  It has been an amazing tool for my family to see God’s word come to life.   And I know that the more we learn and want to do what is right, the harder it seems to be.  Do you ever feel that way?

Romans 7:21 says “ So, I find this law at work: when

I want to do good, evil is right there with me.”

Paul, the writer of the book of Romans goes on to say that it is like a battle in his body, a war waging against good and evil.  It feels like sometimes we are slaves to sin, all tangled up with no way out. But that’s not where this story ends…. Paul goes on to cry out -  who will rescue me from this mess I’m in???

                         the answer: Thanks to God – through Jesus Christ our Lord!

 As you read these devotions and open God’s word , remember that the bible is our weapon of defense, the sword of the Spirit (Ephesians 6:17). The enemy will come to distract you and try to make you a slave to sin, but it is through Jesus that we are clothed in righteousness…covered by His blood because He was delivered over to death on the cross. AMEN…Thank you God for Your amazing gift of Jesus.  Have you received that gift?
