This is a wonderful message. The world is a battle field between forces loyal to the kingdom of darkness and those loyal to the kingdom of light. For a believer to be on the side of victory in this raging war, faith in God is the indispensable shield against the fiery darts of the wicked. A shield is a steel instrument of warfare that is used for protection against the enemy arrows during war times. It is usually worn around the chest region to cover the heart against spears and arrows of the enemies that might want to hit the heart. Moreover, faith comes through devoted study of God’s word. “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing the word of God” (Romans 10:17). It is the knowledge of the word of God that births and grows faith in the believer. thanks for sharing
