The Word of God

In studying the first chapter of James-dealing with trials and temptations, I also went over Ephesians 6:10-18 about putting on the whole armor of God. 

A new level of understanding came--EVERY piece of armor is related to the Word of God.  

So, if I am to "stand firm" against the trials and temptations of life I need to be reading, meditating, and memorizing the Word of God. If I'm not in the Word, I won't be victorious in my Christian life. 

The Word...it is my lifeline.
