The Shield of Faith, Wherewith Ye Shall Quench All the Fiery Darts of the Wicked - Part 968

As our world quickly spirals into unprecedented chaos and confusion, remember that we have a Lord and Saviour who willingly shed His precious blood on a cross so that we might experience abundance of life and peace through Him and in Him. And He never fails -- even in the midst of trial and tribulation.

Jesus said, "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but ye know Him; for He dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth Me no more; but ye see Me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in Me, and I in you." (John 14:16-20)

Therefore, as you begin another new day (or another white page, as it is stated in our abode), take hold of His knowledge and wisdom by studying His Word ... and putting on "the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand -- stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace.

Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints." (Ephesians 6:10-18)

Quenching all the fiery darts of the wicked through Jesus Christ our Lord God and Saviour -- the Word of God in the flesh. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God ... the Word became flesh." (John 1:1-18) No other name under heave whereby we can be saved in this current dispensation of grace. 

Ask Jesus into your life today. Thank Him for His goodness and grace and mercy and peace ... that surpasses all human understanding. Stand in His offering plate.
