Today's Devotion
From the Book of Hebrews:

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Heb. 4:12).
The Word of God is our all-sufficient strength to meet our every need. Therefore, let us earnestly yield ourselves to His Word, that we may live in fellowship with Him.

And take the helment of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Eph. 6:17). It is obvious that the Word of God will supply all the direction in life we will ever need. However, a map is only good if it is followed to the letter. - Continue...
