Today, we reflect on the power of God’s Word as the sword of the Spirit. In Ephesians 6, we are instructed to take up the "sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God." This metaphor emphasizes the Word's role in our spiritual battles, as exemplified in the temptation of Jesus in the desert. After fasting for forty days, Jesus faced Satan’s temptations, and His responses reveal how we can wield Scripture effectively in our own lives.
