Shield Of Faith

This morning as I loaded my E-Sword Bible Program, the morning devotion was “Shield Of Faith: The Power That Protects Us” by G.H. Morrison, The Glasgow Pulpit series on Ephesians 6:16 which reads “Lift up over all the [covering] shield of saving faith, upon which you can quench all the flaming missiles of the wicked [one].” [Amplified Bible]

Morrison shares the following: “Faith is not here the power that leads to victory, it is the power that protects us in the battle. It keeps us un-embittered and serene amid the mysteries and buffetings of life. To believe that love is on the throne and that through everything there runs a loving purpose, is the deepest of all senses to be shielded.”

As I read this I realized how real this has become in my life.

That indeed the Shield of Faith has been covering me over these last three years. That it has kept me un-embittered, and only the Lord and the Holy Spirit could do that.

Because of that I have had that peace of God that passes all understanding.

As we lift the Shield of Faith, it not only protects us, it assures us that in spite of all that is going on in our life, that the Lord is on the Throne and He will bring us through, He is our covering, our shield, our defense.

He is enabling us to rise up in the power and might of His Spirit and teaching us to put on the full complete armor of God and to lift up the Shield of Faith!

Press on my friends, Press on, the battle is the Lord’s!!

Till Later,
Paul
