Regional Rainfall Report Good Counsel Primary School celebrates St Patrick's Day

MARIA GIRGENTI

LAST Tuesday, Good Counsel Primary School students, staff and tuck shop volunteers celebrated St Patrick's Day by wearing all things green.

Celebrating the St Patrick's Day tradition has continued for over 1,000 years and is observed on the anniversary of his death in the 5th century. Patrick was born in Roman Britain in the late 4th century and, at the age of 16, was taken as a slave to Ireland. Patrick escaped to become a missionary and brought Christianity to Ireland. He became a legendary figure and is considered the Patron Saint of Ireland. Today, approximately 30% of Australia's population is believed to have some Irish ancestry.

His word is our weapon

PSALM 91 came into my mind as I sat and asked the Lord what to write about this week. Psalm 91 has a lot of words about God protecting and defending his children.

Then the Holy Spirit spoke to me and said that the words in the Bible aren't just to confront (or comfort?) us in everyday life, but His words are a mighty weapon. While I already know this, I take note that when the Lord brings something to our minds again, it means it's important, and He's wanting to talk about this with us.

Take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Ephesians 6:17 NIV

For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and Spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Hebrews 4:12 NIV

One piece of armour we all have is the Sword of the Spirit - the Word of the Lord.

'The Sword is appointed to be polished, to be grasped with the hand; it is sharpened and polished, made ready for the hand of the slayer.

Ezekiel 21:11 NIV

Although many other weapons were in the Roman soldier's arsenal,

MACHINE GUN PREACHER Sam Childers

Where: Cross Culture Church, 28/32 Townsville Rd, Ingham

Date: Friday 24th March 2023

Time: 7pm the sword Paul mentions in Ephesians 6:17 was unusual. Its blade was only twenty-two inches long, and the sword was lightweight but a formidable weapon in the hands of a skilled warrior. Sharpened on both sides and the tip, the weapon was very effective in the hand of skilled soldiers.

The Sword is classified as an offensive weapon but can also be used defensively, as is true for the Word of God.

While we have the Sword, we must remember to put on the whole armour of God. There is nothing new under the sun, and God has given us everything we need to take a stand.
