I Need a Bigger Shield

Scripture: Ephesians 6: [16] In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

Observation: I seem to keep getting hit by Satan’s darts, I don’t think my shield is big enough to stop them. My faith seems to go back and forth at times its strong and not much can bother me, but most of the time I’m questioning and uncertain of what I should be doing. I always feel as if there is something I should be doing to hurry up the process instead of being patient and waiting on God.

Application: There is no reason not to have enough faith to thwart Satan’s schemes. My Lord has been so faithful to me, always watching over me and showing me what He wants me to do. Faith is up to me, am I going to believe what God says in His word or not. If I do want His desires for me I’ll be in His will and that is my shield knowing that He will keep me from the fiery darts.

Prayer: Dear Lord please increase my faith. Help this double minded man that sways to the left and right. Put me on course and guide me on the path of your grace. Help me stand firm on your word and to hold the shield of faith proudly before you and others and I know I will be victorious, because that is your desire for me.
