Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To WholenessLeave a comment

Blocking the Arrows You Never Saw Coming

Greeting, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Family, tonight we are talking about one of the most important pieces of the armour of God. The Shield of Faith!!!

Key Scripture

Ephesians 6:16
New International Version

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Devotional Focus:

Faith becomes the shield between our hearts and the attacks of fear, doubt, hopelessness, and despair.

Some arrows come suddenly:
  Bad News
  Betrayal
  Disappointment
  Anxiety
  Exhaustion
  Spiritual Discouragement

Faith does not mean we never struggle. It means we continue trusting God while we struggle.

Life Application:

Even trembling faith can still block the enemy’s attacks when placed in God’s hands. The Word of God says that even faith the size of mustard seed can do GREAT things like moving a mountain (Matthew 17:20).

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, thank you for taking the time this week to reassure us that all types of faith can be powerful enough to charge our shields. We all strive for great faith, but we thank you for meeting us where we are. We are so thankful to be able to have a personal relationship with you were we are able to grow our faith and trust in you. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer as we lift them sincerely to you.

Day 139 of 365: Part 3 – Shoes of Peace

Walking Steadily Through Chaos

Greetings, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.

Family, tonight is Part 3 of the mini nugget series of the Full Amour of God from Ephesians 6:10-18. Specifically, tonight’s mini nugget is on The Shoes of the Gospel of Peace. 

Key Scripture:

“…with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.”  Ephesians 6:15

Devotional Focus:

Peace is not the absence of trouble; it is stability in the middle of it. God gives believers spiritual footing so they do not slip when life becomes uncertain.

Life Application:

You may walk through stressful seasons, painful diagnoses, family struggles, financial pressure, or emotional exhaustion, but God’s peace keeps you moving forward one faithful step at a time.

Remember one of the last statements Jesus made regarding Peace in John 14:27?

Jesus said, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” He is our Peace. Jesus’ promised to always be with us in the form of the Comforter, the Holy Spirit. It is for that reason that I begin most of my prayers with, “Spirit of the Living God”.

Let Us Pray

Spirit of the Living God, In a world filled with chaos, uncertainty, and distraction, help us to walk daily in Your peace. Let the Shoes of Peace remind us that we were never called to walk in fear, anger, confusion, or worry, but in the calm assurance that You are always with us.

Where there is division, teach us to carry peace. Where there is anxiety, teach us to trust You. Where there is weariness, remind us that Your presence strengthens us for every step ahead.

Lord, make us ready to stand firm in faith and to carry the message of Your love everywhere we go. Let our words, actions, and hearts reflect the peace that only comes through You.

May we walk boldly, steadily, and faithfully, knowing that the Gospel of Peace guides every step. Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer as we lift them up to you.

And we let it be…And so it is…

Amen, Amen, and Amen
