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.
