    Daily Bread – November 1, 2022 (The Third Day – Genesis 1:9-13) 2 Corinthians 10:5 – To destroy arguments and every great obstacle raised against the knowledge of God, and to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. God’s Word Gives Us God’s Knowledge Imaginations that come out of a logic inspired by fear and self-preservation will always lead us in a direction opposite of faith. Imaginations begin where knowledge ends. Knowledge allows us to understand the situations and challenges we are faced with and derive a plan of action to deal with them. Imaginations are never based upon truth, but rather, upon fantasies – a kind of “false logic” that has no substance in reality. To be so naïve and ignorant as to think our imaginations are worth the time and meditation we give to them is self-destructive. When you lack truth and knowledge, imaginations set in. Therefore, turn to the source, the Word of God. If we are going to be obedient to God, then we are going to have to allow God’s Word to dominate our thoughts. God’s instructions must be the knowledge that we base all of our decisions on. There is no weapon like the sword of the Spirit, or the word of God, because the knowledge of God will cut off every false thing. Those who walk in the knowledge that the Word of God gives will have the things God has described and the blessing His wisdom brings. It is the truth that sets us free and is the power of God that overthrows every lie and deception. It is the means to discern good and evil, and the revealer of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
