The Shield That Covers
Ephesians 6:15-16
Paul related the shoes to the peace of God. We are assured of our firm footing when battling the forces sent against us.
These shields carried into battle were the size of doors. And like a door covers you when you are behind it, so did these shields.
Paul relates this shield to our faith. It is our faith that protects us.
So where does faith begin?
How do I know if my faith is big enough?
Each soldier would be equipped with a shield to fit him. God does the same with faith.
So how do I take care of this faith?
If the only time you soak your faith in the cleansing water of God’s truth is on the occasions that you come to church, your shield of faith is dry.
What about those times when my faith feels so weak?
We should be able to call on each other for prayer support when we are in a spiritual battle.
God’s promise to us.
Once again, we see the joint effort between us and God. He will protect us by his power not ours.
