There's a war going on. It's a spiritual war, though. So draw your sword... that is, the sword of the Spirit. The Word of God. It's more powerful than any other weapon in existence. Therefore, it's important for His people to spend each day in His Word. The Bible speaks truth. It shows and encourages us how to live in every possible situation. It's proactive, but when necessary, it's reactive as well. It's our defense as believers in God. Without it, our amour of God is incomplete, that is spoken about in Ephesians 6:10-18. We must stand firm against our enemies in this active and real spiritual war at hand. We must "draw our swords" by meditating on His Word.
For myself, this is something that I'm constantly working on. It's sometimes hard starting my day off reading the Bible, but what I do know is that the days I spend time in His Word are my best days. Really, they are. But even more than that, I know I need to remember to ingrain (perhaps through memorization, etc...) those words I read into my mind and my heart, so I can have that defense throughout my entire day, no matter where I am. If I can do that, I know I can stand firm. I can feel safe, even in the midst of chaos and pain, because I have His Word in my heart and I have drawn my sword in this ongoing spiritual war...
