Weapons

Read Ephesians 6:11-20. I was waiting for my weapons of war from God, you know, for the great battle with good and evil. Are they great bombs? NO. Are they big guns? NO. How about some dynamite? NO. It looks like teeny tiny chisels and tweezers.The first battlefield is me, myself and I. Good and evil are at war within me.
So your assignment this month is to look for yourself in the Bible. I've found myself over and over in my Bible reading. I am bold Peter, and the cringing, fearful, Peter denying Christ. I am Joseph, as well as his jealous brothers. Thank God, He saw both the good and bad in us, and knew our good can triumph empowered by His love.
Here's your memory verse:"But God showed how much he loved us by having Christ die for us, even though we were sinful." Romans 5:8 CEV. Christmas is the celebration of Christ's coming into this world to lead us back to God. Now humbly read the Christmas story in Matthew chapters 1 and 2, or Luke chapter 2.
