This morning as I was dressing myself spiritually with God’s Armor I found myself realizing a new use for the Sword of the Spirit. I had always pictured in my mind using this sword to ward off any and all of evil’s minions. This morning for the first time I saw myself using this sword to cut out the selfish desires that want to enter my mind. I can use this sword to do spiritual surgery cutting away what wants to be selfish. God is Amazing!

This morning following our second worship time a father who is facing a divorce is having a prayer time for his two young daughters. He has been coming for counsel for many months now. He asked if I’d set this up with our children’s pastor and their Sunday School teachers. He wants his daughters to know that in their young lives they have many who are with them, praying for them and loving them. My own two daughters from my first marriage were only 2 & 4 when my wife at the time left me. This agony at that time so long ago never leaves one’s mind and emotions. I was glad to take this step for them.

God’s tender, loving mercy is like none other. May these two young girls who are 4 & 6 know and believe their God is always with them and they are surrounded by His Spirit and a host of people who will always be praying for them and loving on them.
