The Enemy Also Speaks to Us
Excerpt
But while God is speaking, the enemy is also speaking (Psa. 119:42). We have learned that the writer of this psalm was oppressed by enemies who lied about him, slandered his name, and even threatened his life. Our main weapon against these attacks is “the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Eph. 6:17), for only God’s truth can silence the devil’s lies (Matt. 4:1–11). We need God’s truth in our hearts, not only to keep us from sin, but also to equip us to answer those who oppose us or ask us why we believe as we do (1 Peter 3:15).
