Devotion from January 1

January 1

This book is about developing an action verb faith. It's about getting out there where we can feel the wind of God's Spirit blowing in our faces. It's about learning that we don't have to put down the Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God) to raise up the Shield of Faith.
The way I see it, that's why God gave us two hands. If we want to live abundantly, we must pick up both. To pick up the Sword of the Spirit without the Shield of Faith is to shrivel and dry up in the desert of legalism. To pick up the Shield of Faith without the Sword of the Spirit is to try walking on quicksand.

Scripture reference: Ephesians 6:16-17

[I got this devotion book for Christmas. It is awesome. I am thankful for it. It was written by Beth Moore. "Believing God Day By Day Growing your faith all year long." is what all it says on the front..]
