„In all things taking the shield of faith, wherewith you may be able to extinguish all the fiery darts of the most wicked one. “
Ephesians 6.16 (DRB)
Shield of Faith
God gave us a powerful weapon. A weapon which can help us in every day life as well as in really difficult events.
Faith is a powerful weapon which can be used both for an attack and a defence. It is so effective that it can quench “all fiery darts”, so there is nothing your faith wouldn’t handle! No problem, no difficulty, simply nothing your faith can not win with. If you have a faith you are completely safe, and it is not because nobody is after you, but because you don’t have to fear of any attack. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Your shield of faith shall handle most sophisticated weapons.
But sometimes that shield may have holes and those holes are your fears and unbelief. If any dart did hit you it means that you have a hole in your shield! So you have to reject all fears and repair your shield. You can strengthen your shield with pieces of God’s Holy Word. Actually that shield is built of many pieces of God’s Word; of those you are believing in actively, and which you have put into practice. The more scriptures you will put into practice the stronger your shield will become. So build your shield every day!
