In our automobiles we have
wind-shields that protect. We have glass windows in homes that protect us from
the elements. We have eyeglasses that shield. We have wrappings that protect food. There are literally all kinds of shielding
available.
For the believer, we have a
shield of faith. [Eph.6:16]. This shield protects from the fiery darts of evil.
We have the Holy Spirit to help us grow faith that can throw up a shield of
trust. The shield of faith helps deflect the fiery darts of evil that try to penetrate us daily.
While evil is no longer in
control since Jesus came, the tempter still attacks us with evil principles and
powers of lust [whether for persons, money, or power in the form of significance].
Evil still wants us to think we can outdo death and become our own gods.
Increased faith helps us
throw up a shield of trust to block temptation.
We are never alone. Ask.
