Ephesians 6:16 NASB "in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one."I love a new adventure, and learning to weld was the latest one! Today we read about the Armor of God, specifically the shield of faith and it's purpose! As the sparks began to fly, I forgot critical pieces of protective gear in order to weld. Some of the sparks landed on my clothing causing burn holes, some fell in my work boots and did a good job of burning my socks and foot, and those sparks that landed on my hands, left reminders to always wear gloves! Some adventures in life will teach us valuable lessons about protective gear and His Word teaches us the importance of taking up the Armor of God, especially the shield of faith where we can protect ourselves from the flaming arrows of satan. Those arrows can burn us, leave scars and even destroy relationships. Let's make sure we are protected so we can help others extinguish the arrows shot at them! peace, tom
