Battle Gear/The Shield

In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Ephesians 6:16

     I love the thought that our faith is usually all we need to fight our battles. God is the one to wage war. He is the conquering hero. Our spiritual armor belongs to and comes from Him. When we hold up Jesus, all knees bow. Satan flees. Faith trumps all. The flaming arrows Satan throws at us have no power.

     When you doubt, place your faith in Jesus. When you fear, place your faith in Jesus. When you don’t understand, place your faith in Jesus. When you are sad, place your faith in Jesus. When you are scared, place your faith in Jesus.

     Let’s hold high our shields today and extinguish those arrows. Christ has power over all of it. It is all about Him.

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. James 4:7

Jesus,

It is our faith in You that makes Satan flee from our presence. We hold high our shield of faith. No arrows may hit us with You on our side.

Amen
