Shield of Faith
In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, (Ephesians 6:16).
What It Means:
When Paul wrote this passage, Roman soldiers carried shields that were covered with heavy animal hide. Before a battle, they would dip their shields into the water so that when fiery darts hit them, the wet hide would extinguish the darts.
Similarly, a Christians shield of faith needs to be regularly dipped in the water of Gods word to be replenished and fully functional because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).
How to Apply It:
If your faith feels less confident than you wish it did, ask the Lord to increase your faith (Mark 9:24).
Find verses that feed your faith and fill your world with them.
Set your faith in Gods righteousness, not in a circumstance.
