From God's Minute - Daily Devotion
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. (Prov 25:11 NKJV)
Now it is written: So shall I have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in Your word. For You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word. (Psalms 119:42; Psalms 119:114)
Therefore today we will take a humorous look at a message that I received this week from one of our brothers-in-Christ. I hope that it will bring a laugh or two to begin your day.

Proof That Scripture Can Protect You
Now an elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of Church services when an intruder startled her. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, Stop! ACTS 2:38 she shouted" The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done.
As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a Scripture at you."
"Scripture?" replied the burglar. "I though she said she had an ax and two 38's!"
