Faith Protects

 

     Satan is real and active, devious and aware. We have spiritual armor to wear with confidence each and every day. You can read through each piece of armor in Ephesians 6:13-18. For today, we will focus on the shield that protects us from the fiery arrows of our enemy.

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

     God provides everything we need. If only we would remember to clothe ourselves with our helmet of salvation, our breastplate of righteousness, our shoes of the Gospel of peace, our belt of truth, our shield of faith, as well as our one offensive weapon; the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, all tied together with prayer.

     Faith protects us from the voice of Satan filling us with doubt, with worry, with temptation, with greed and envy, with pride, with guilt. He knows how to push our buttons and wants us to remain in a weak position, unable to speak truth, until we are unable to bring glory to Jesus with our lives.

     Today, hold up your faith with confidence and joy. You’ve got this! Jesus provides protection against every single arrow pointed at you.

Lord,

We thank You for the weapons of warfare against evil. We lean on You for protection in this world as we await Your coming. The darkness has no power over Your light.

In Jesus name,

Amen
