Ephesians 6: 16 – “Above all, taking the
shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of
the wicked.”
Years ago a television
commercial of a popular hair ointment claimed that you didn’t need much of the
product in order to get the desired effect.
It said that ‘just a little dab will do’. This is true with our faith walk with
God. He does not require that we have a
boat load of faith in order to please him, but he does want us to exercise that
which we do have. Today’s scripture
reminds us that when we are faced with a problem of any size we are to brace up
with our shield of faith.
If you think about a
shield it is not used as an offensive weapon but as a defensive tool against
attack. Remember the battle is not yours
but the Lord’s, so you have but to show up and stand up in faith. Put your faith in front of you and stand
behind its protection. It only takes a
dab.
When trials come at you
back to back like arrows raise your shield and speak the words of God against
the onslaught. Remind yourself that God
is in control and that the victory has already been won through the blood of
Jesus. Don’t be afraid that you can’t
fight against such an awesome foe…we serve a BIG God and his might and power
are awesome. Stand with your shield of
faith and tell your problem who your God is and watch as he buffers you and
keeps you safe.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a
power-packed GREAT day! Don’t be distracted; stay focused on your purpose! Be
blessed! Dr. JoAnn
