"Do not be afraid...remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes." (Nehemiah 4:14)

As I've told you before, a tradition in my family is: 

the kids and grands earn souvenir money for our annual beach trip by quoting Scriptures to Memaw. Normally, I send out 20 Scriptures in January for them to memorize by June. This year, God put a new twist on the challenge:

Each family is to find 20 verses they need to be strong in the Lord and defeat the enemy.

For example, if a family is struggling with fear, worry, anger, apathy, unkindness, defeat, discouragement, etc., they are to find a "sword" to destroy that stronghold and expose the defeat the enemy's lies.

Memorize those swords.

Speak those swords.

Wield those swords.

Become skilled swordsmen, if you will.

What are you battling, beloved? Find your sword and use it!
