David's Daily Devotion for April 17

April 17, 2023 - Good Morning! It’s Monday, April 17.

Yesterday our pastor began a sermon series on the armor of God. He preached from the famous passage in the sixth chapter of Ephesians that mentions the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation, the shield of faith.

Most of these tools of spiritual warfare are defensive in nature, but his message centered on an offensive weapon - the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God, the Bible. Here are some verses of promise, protection, and power, that are great weapons for your spiritual battles.

  • I John 4:4 - Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world.
  • Romans 8:31 - If God is for us, then who can be against us?
  • James 4:7 - Submit yourselves to God, resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
  • 2 Timothy 1:7 - God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
  • John 16:33 - In the world you shall have tribulations, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world.

Meet you back here tomorrow,
Bro. David
