DAILY?READINGS: 2 Chronicles 27-28; Ezekiel 44; John 20:1-18

Fight the good fight of faith.  1 Timothy 6:12

How do we fight the good fight of faith? First of all we need to surrender to the Holy Spirit, and depend on His power. Secondly we need to lay hold on God’s Word. This is the ready sword of the Spirit and He will use it in our lives for God’s glory. The Scriptures reveal God’s will to us. It is a mighty book because it contains the living words of Almighty God. Thus it can cast down the strongholds and imaginations of philosophers and false teachers. It blesses us too because it captivates our thoughts to the obedience of Christ. It mortifies the deeds of the body and gives victory over the flesh. May God help us to love and obey His Word. —Milton Haack

Behold! The Christian warrior stand, in all the armour of his God;
The Spirit’s sword is in his hand; his feet are with the Gospel shod.
—J. Montgomery
