Read David Jeremiah 21st May 2025 Daily Devotional Wednesday Turning Point Devotional Message
TOPIC: Living by the Sword
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. – Ephesians 6:11, NV
RECOMMENDED READING
Psalm 119:9-16
An earlier generation of Christians was raised on “sword drills” in Sunday school. Youngsters would line up and “draw swords,” which meant they held up their Bibles. Then a reference was given-perhaps Ephesians 6:17-and they raced to see who could turn there soonest.
Scripture was their sword.
The Bible is not only a sword; it is also an entire armory of swords. Sometimes we use it defensively to withstand an attack on our faith or well-being (Ephesians 6:17). But sometimes the swords are aimed at us. We read a verse, hear a sermon, or talk with a friend, and immediately we feel the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12).
Let the sword drill into you for your good and for God’s glory.
TURNING POINT
The word, stored in the heart, provides a mental depository for the Holy Spirit to use to mediate His grace to us, whatever our need for grace might be.
