“The shield of faith” is simple trust in God. It‘s taking Him at His Word and believing Him in all things. It’s putting Him and His will ahead of everything else in life. So, when Satan launches his “fiery darts” at us we are able to hold up “the shield of faith” and watch them fall harmlessly to the ground.
“The shield of faith” is what makes the Christian life possible. The Lord says, For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith,” Rom. 1:17. This kind of faith is the very lifeblood of the believer.
“The shield of faith,” which is simple childlike faith and trust in the Lord, is a shield that the arrows of Satan cannot penetrate. It will carry you home to glory and bring you into the presence of the Lord.
Are you rooted and grounded in the truth and ready for the attacks of the enemy?
