For those of you who play chess, have you ever marched a pawn all the way to the end of the board and turned it into a second queen?

TWO QUEENS.  Practically UNBEATABLE.

That’s exactly how it is in the Christian life!  When one wears “the full armor of God” including “the sword of the Spirit” a.k.a. the Bible!

• “Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10)

How???  The very next verse tells us:

• “PUT ON the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.” (Ephesians 6:11)

Including last but absolutely not least:

• “And take… the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:17)

One of my all-time favorite quotes which my father and uncles used to always say when we cousins were growing up is, “Either this Book will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from this Book.”

So true.

But ever since I dedicated my life to memorizing entire books of the Bible en route to all 66, I add this:  “Don’t just read, don’t just study but meditate  on the Bible throughout the day.  I.e., don’t just taste it, eat  it, consume  it.  Consume the Bible, and before long the Bible will CONSUME YOU!”

It’s even better than having TWO QUEENS in a game of chess.

Utterly  unbeatable.

• “But in all these things we OVERWHELMINGLY CONQUER through Him who loved us.” (Romans 8:37)
