“ the sword is already sharp. I just have to learn how to swing it.”❤

TLC having gone through the Bible with you every day, I just have to give praise to the Lord for transforming my heart. Yesterday I called a local western wear store about some boots and was transferred to that department. The moment to man answered my call he sounded put out by having to check to see if they were in stock and came back quickly saying they didn’t have them. It was like getting hit from behind in your car and thinking what just happened and wanting to react with anger, but Jesus’ love overpowered that and I just told him thanks for checking. Now I just wish I had asked him “what’s up” and how could I help or pray for him. I pray for him now and ask that others of you would pray for him and all retail salespeople that are tired and working this last week before Christmas for them to be blessed and strengthened. My mind and life has been transformed this past year! Thank you!

[@terriblue9792]

Amen sister, everyone needs to be shown grace. Times, situations and circumstances are rough. We never know what’s going on in people’s lives and if we are self absorbed we won’t even think about it😔 I love the transformative power of the Word! May God continue to show you/ us how to serve in even the tiniest areas 🙏🏾

[@suebarnard1734]

God is transforming your ❤! That’s awesome!

[@lavonnegrady2130]

As a person who worked in retail, I will have to say that the there are not enough grateful people. It’s a consumer nation. People are driven by deals and materialistic things. They are rude because they are fighting each other for stuff that’s going to fade away. It’s sad and that’s not the reason for the season. I’m anxious during the holidays. I will never go back to retail. I need to fall in love with the holidays again.

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

​@terriblue9792 Amen! Excellent reminder of His grace!

[@kiki_gn]

God’s Word is indeed alive & powerful as we are being transformed from glory to glory❤

[@AdrianaHernandez-vz5nh]

I love this time everyday where I can read and learn about God through scripture. I am a little behind but God is right on time. I have been in situations lately with friends and co workers where they say things that are either not accurate or do not believe in God. I have not been confident in relaying the true word of God to them for fear of saying the wrong thing or turning someone off to the Lord. I needed to read today’s word and listen to the recap because what I’m feeling is a lie from the accuser. The truth is that I am arming myself with God’s word everyday. I will continue to pray for God to continue to feed me the word, give me wisdom and understanding so that I can speak to others about him with love and courageousness.

[@cherylreed4377]

Such a comforting and awesome Word today!! Thank you Lord for your Word !!!

[@scgrandma8773]

What I saw today that I had not really seen before was in 4:28. "...Rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need." Thankful that I am still able to work part-time in my mid-70s. What a blessing

[@Jesus.Coffee.Planning]

Perfect timing for this word! Prayers for my Mom healing. 🙏🏼✝️

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

Merciful Father pour your Grace and healing over this Woman's Mother and restore her on this side of Heaven. In the Blessed name of Jesus we pray!

[@ChristineDawson-lo6bm]

Prayers ❤

[@larryskipper9298]

I have read Ephesians many times, but today was different. I found more content and realized that I must study scripture more in depth. LORD give us the wisdom to understand your word. Thank you TLC.

[@billybigelow411]

Thanks TLC- Excellent Recap- Because this Letter may have been intended as a “Mass- Email” it really feels like Paul is talking to us personally.

[@Glndarod9641]

Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to The Cross I cling 🎶

[@laurievarney2668]

This has been a beautiful 250 days of starting each day with God's word and TLC! No matter what happens in my day, I have put my armor on and am prepared to face what comes my way. I now cannot imagine a day without reading The Word. I will be starting the recap all over again January 1! Each year I know I will learn more!

[@christavdwalt6325]

"may I swing my sword well in the fight in my spiritual battle" 🌸

[@cherylreed4377]

Amen!!

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

God bless you, your team and your many ministries Tara-Leigh Cobble! Merry Christmas!

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

What a beautiful book Ephesians is!!!!

[@diorocksmetalon5993]

Amen TLC!!!!

[@brucekelly5778]

Thank you Lord, for allowing me to grow strong with you every day!

[@robertacoward2858]

Amen!

[@sherrylee1072]

I’ve never thought of the armor in that way, thanks TLC

[@CotishaMcNair]

I just finished my 54th book. 🙌🏽 By grace we have been saved in faith. We are God’s workmanship. I’m excited I’m a member of God’s household. We have to live truthfully. We have to put on The Whole Armor of God. Marriage is definitely hard work as a wife of a husband who has failed and betrayed my trust, cheated on me it’s hard. I still hold on to my faith because no matter what I go through he is where the joy is. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@rickwarner516]

Thankful for all that God has done ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@marysmith4527]

Thank you for the on time word. He is where the joy is!

[@jeffandvikipendergrass]

So much richness in Ephesians. Many familiar verses that resonate with me. One that stood out is Ephesians 4:2-3, "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace." I pray this for myself, my family, my pastors, my church- God's church. 🙏🏽

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

I have been one more patient , forgiving and understanding. Amen

[@DonZimmerman52]

Seven out of the 8 verses from Eph 5:22-29 are directed at husbands, requiring them to love their wives as Christ loves the church, sacrificing Himself for her. Husbands are to lead their marriages spiritually by encouraging their wives to grow more like Christ (see 5:27), as they are being sanctified as well. What’s an aspect of sanctification, growing more like Christ? Eph 5:3-4, 8-11: no more obscenity, coarse joking, sexual impurity-and instead, fill our hearts and marriages with the Light and Life of Jesus.

[@billdyer8981]

Books 15 and 54 down! Loving TBR and looking forward to completing the whole Bible!

[@Christyi]

Such insights you give TLC! As a believer for over 30 years I have read through the Bible several times, and studied through Ephesians even more. Tho I admit I am a slow learner, your recap today opened my eyes to the armor of God not covering our backs. We need one another to go to battle with and have each other's back.

[@PhilTorrance]

Armor of God. Let me wear it eternally!

[@leannporter-parsley1523]

I love this passage today!🗡️🛡️✝️

[@Chrisp765]

We are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus for good works. The result is unity in Jesus and glory to God.

[@crucifiedfaith]

We were with GOD before time began, yes?

[@Cabo9434]

This last month of finishing my Bible Recap has been a great challenge…everything from a to z got in my way of completing my goal of reading the Bible in a year… I’m back on track and have 12 more days… God Bless Tara..I’m going to kick it in high gear and complete my goal … God is good

[@DonnaYeldell]

It's been a rough week at the ministry home where I work. Lots of personal attacks from women using words like stones to attack me. Thanks for the reminder to buynonnmy armor DAILY! I'm fighting a spiritual battle andni need the armor of God to survive, along with the sword of the spirit to defeat the enemy.

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

His victory is secure. Amen

[@suebarnard1734]

I love your perspective on the armor of God! Thank you! That touches my heart!!!

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

I love these chapters. Thank you Tara Leigh. I truly love and reread ch. 6. ✝️

[@valeriewhite2576]

Good evening bible Family still enjoying the journey ❤❤❤ Thanks TLC and TBR team 💯🙌🏾

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

Thank you Tara. ❣️

[@marquitaequipped]

The glory of the Lord is our rearward. Meaning our back is covered. I love what you said too but we are covered head to toe and he even goes before us to make the crooked places straight.

[@marquitaequipped]

Isaiah 58:8-12 New International Version (NIV) Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.

[@karlacastillo780]

So much in this book. It has always been one of my favorites. That I have more insight is AMAZING, thank you TLC

[@julietspaolucci]

i just ordered my "Finisher" T-Shirt! & a coffee mug to use at work!!

[@kimberlyguy8573]

Enjoyed this study on Ephesians I learned so much that has given me hope

[@renaej.7001]

I love The Bible Recap! It's been so helpful. Now that we're nearing the end of the one-year plan, I'm wondering why we're doing whole books in one day. Ephesians is really dense. It's all good, just wondering 🤗

[@LynneSpires]

God’s got my back! How awesome. Thanks for pointing this out, TLC

[@mariaewerth670]

Amen 🙏🏻 ❤

[@linacarmelasardo8458]

Amen

[@Beloved1133]

❤❤❤❤

[@KM-lu7nh]

I wish TLC would speak on predestination. I feel like this is the fourth or fifth time it's been mentioned in our reading. 5:22-33 is especially tough as a divorcee; we failed....I failed.

[@kathysaracoff3754]

Praying for you today to be encouraged by your position in Christ. We have all failed in one way or another, but we have His righteousness now.

[@KM-lu7nh]

@@kathysaracoff3754 Thank you! ❤

[@marylist-8893]

An abusive husband is not human, he's evil

[@kamiliaball4731]

Such beautiful Word. Thank You my Jesus!!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
