Day 36

The other night I was tucking my four year old son Gus in and listening to him say his bed time prayers.  After he thanked God for the sweet day and his sweet family he said, “Lord, I’m so glad you have the best weapons ever.”

Gus is pretty much into weapons.  He owns 4 light sabers, can tell you the name of Thor’s hammer, Has 3 different Star Wars guns, and is totally impressed by Iron Man’s repulsor ray technology.  So for him to tell God He has the best weapons ever is some pretty high praise!  It reminded me of this verse:

2 Corinthians 10:4  We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments.

We are going to have wrong thoughts and ideas that contradict the knowledge of God come against us, but we don’t have to receive them as helpless victims.  We can destroy them with the weapons God has given us and be victorious.

Gus was right, God does have the best weapons ever, so tonight I am going to start my list thanking God for the different weapons He has given me.

1. The Word of God (Heb 4:12)
2. The blood of Jesus (Rev 12:11)
3. Our testimony (Rev 12:11)
4. The name of Jesus (Phil 2:8-11)
5. Praise (Ps 149:6)
6. Faith (Eph 6:16)
7. Prayer (Ps 50:15)
8. The Holy Spirit (John 14:26)
9. No weapons formed against me can prosper! (Is 54:17)
10. God hasn’t just given us weapons he’s give us armor (Eph 6:10-18)
