       Some of us have come to the realization that we are in a war, and so God’s Word, our sword, then becomes pretty important for us if we want to win each battle (see also Ephesians 6). God, through his Spirit, enlightens us to what his truth really means. The Apostle Paul stated, “Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual” (1 Corinthians 2:12, 13, ESV). Our morning devotion, or whenever we choose to have our devotion in our day, can provide a way for us to carefully study a passage of Scripture. This careful study gives us further insight into how much God loves us and what he is expecting of us. And, as the Spirit helps us understand the application, we can have greater power flowing in our lives. And we can pray verses and passages in our prayers to God. I believe God likes it when we do this.
