Take Up the Shield of Faith

Listen to today's Scripture read aloud.

The shield defends the ancient soldier from the enemy's offensive maneuvers, protecting them from bodily harm. Roman soldiers were trained to work together, layering their shields into an impenetrable wall that could withstand any attack.

How can faith protect you from the flaming arrows that might come your way in the spiritual battle?

Consider this short film.

“Vigilant” was created by Mexican filmmaker Alfonso Meléndez Sánchez. Alfonso writes:

“VIGILANT shows the powers of the spiritual forces of evil in their battle against faith and prayers through the Word of God. Seen from the evil's point of view, we learn how to stand firm against evil forces knowing they will never surrender but also will never succeed as long as we stay alert and vigilant.”

How does your faith in the Lord protect you when a well-aimed attack tries to hurt you?
