Shield of Faith
When we take up the shield, we demonstrate our faith in Jesus Christ. This shield is said to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Doubt was the enemy's initial arrow in the Garden of Eden and being able to identify this as an attack is crucial in this battle. We must be on guard for what form these arrows come in. Each of us has unique vulnerabilities, and the enemy knows exactly where to target us. Therefore, it's crucial to actively exercise faith as we take up the shield that protects us.
I pray, no matter how big or small it is, that our faith remains in Jesus Christ. I pray we can believe fully in him so that we may overcome any arrows coming our way. Thank you for all that you have done for us and for giving us this shield so we may defend ourselves.
As always, we encourage you to dig into scripture for yourself! The word can hit us all a bit differently and we so want to see what the Lord is speaking into your life. Here's some recommended verses related to the shield, if you need somewhere to start.
1 John 5:4
