Ephesians 6:16 "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."It wasn't enough that we just brought tools, we needed the water, hose and other items to put out the fire! Nothing is worse than not being prepared, so when we arrived at the fire, we needed to put into action all the tools, hoses, ladders, and water to extinguish the fire before us. Today's verse shares one more part of the armor of God that we need to wear in order to protect ourselves from the flaming arrows of the evil one! Entering the burning buildings, I needed to have faith in my partner, faith that the pump operator would get us water, faith in the Chief to make the right decisions of when to back out. We need all the parts of the armor of God in order to stand firm against the evil of this world and the attacks of satan. Leaving one part out can lead to a devastating event in our life where we get burned and severely burn and could even cost us our life. Don't be unprepared for the battle of living for Christ, take up the shield of faith! Wanna' put out some fire today?! peace, tom
