Missing Weapon
Do not snatch the word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in Your laws.
Psalm 119:43 (NIV)

Psalm 119:41-48
During the worst days of the recent war in Iraq, the newspapers told of a Marine corporal, a very brave woman, at a checkpoint in Fallujah. Her job was to frisk Iraqi women for bombs. One day after a long shift, she was returning to camp when her convoy was attacked and she was thrown unconscious to the ground. Coming to, she reached for her weapon, but it was gone. The thought of being in a firefight without her weapon was terrifying. Though wounded in the attack, she survived; but she never wants to be caught in such a situation again.
As God’s soldiers, our weapon is the Scripture—the Sword of the Spirit. There’s nothing more terrifying than to find our weapon missing while we’re in a firefight with the world or the devil. Too many believers forget to carry God’s Word in their hearts. Among Christians today, there is Bible-less preaching, Bible-less counseling, Bible-less thinking, and Bible-less living. We cannot engage in spiritual warfare if our weapon is lost, misplaced, rusty, or neglected. Our power comes from the authority of God’s Word.
A Bible Christian I will be, for Christ has done so much for me.
