Day 25 – The Shield
Paul writes : “take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one” – Ephesians 6:16.
Again we don’t always think of ‘faith’ as an act of spiritual war …. but it is.
Faith is so important. Jesus said those that believe will be saved and those that don’t will not (Mark 16:16).
‘For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith’ – Paul also writes earlier in Ephesians 2:8.
With humility (again) we should note, that not even that faith was our own v9-10.
We should desire that our faith increases!
How do we do that?
Well Jesus’ disciples asked for ‘more’ faith (Luke 17:5) and ‘hearing the word’ brings faith (Romans 10:9).
In many ways, it comes back to the basics.
Keep praying, stay humble, read the word, share the good news.
‘Shalom’!
