"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
All of the battle equipment that we have studied this week has been tie to, strapped to, or held in place. The shield is a defensive weapon that can be rapidly moved to the position where and when needed.
The enemy will never attack you where you are strong. But looks for the weaknesses in your soul, and strikes when you least expect it.
With faith in God shielding you, what harm could come your way? The fact is, when I become a fully obedient warrior of Christ, equipped with faith in God, not flaming arrows nor fiery missiles launched by the enemy, can pierce His defenses. To receive full protection, we must surrender to the Will of God – in full. We must choose between truth and deceit, good or evil. With God, there is no moral relativism.
God is not a god of convenience, to be compartmentalized to an hour on Sunday, or a service on Christmas Eve or Easter morning. To those who receive Him, He is 24 x 7 x 365, and present in every walk of life.
Seeking and Following,

You go nowhere by accident. Wherever you go, God is sending you, wherever you are, God has put you there; He has a purpose in your being there. Christ who dwells within you has something He wants to do through you wherever you are. Believe this and go in His grace and love and power.
