| Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.Ephesians 6:10 |
| I love the story of the three young Hebrew men. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego stood their ground. The face of the enraged king that they served loomed before them. He demanded that they bow down to the image he had erected.Daniel 3:17-18 reports their reply when the king ordered them to be burned alive: “…our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace…But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”Those three young men stood fast in the testimony of God’s power to deliver them. They made it clear that their true master was the one true God.Our lives are challenged by unseen forces of evil. Yet we who serve that same one true God, have his almighty resurrection power within us. We do not fight with man-made weapons. Our strategic weapon is the written word of God.Let’s follow Jesus’ example. He withstood the devil through the scripture, God’s written word (Matthew 4:1-11). That is our mighty weapon as well. God’s word that is hidden in our heart, is like an arrow in a hunter’s quiver. When the enemy of our soul comes against us, we will stand through our testimony of steadfastness. Then reaching for our arrow of truth, we destroy and negate his attack. Father God, I am so thankful that you have given me your word to hide in my heart. Thank you for this secret weapon that quenches the lies of the devil’s fiery darts. Thank you for the assurance that no weapon formed against me will prosper. |
