[I take as a Scriptural Reference, Ephesians 6:10-20] O Shield of Faith, I take thee With the Armor that God has supplied, For without Faith, I can't please Him Or later be by Jesus side. For as a Christian, you've called me A Soldier of His to be, For now there rages a great battle All around, within me. It isn't a physical skirmish Requiring the weapons of men, But spiritual war is araging With Spiritual armor, I taken to stand! And thus I take this Shield of Faith Thus praying that You will supply, Protection from the devil's attacks For from him fiery darts doth fly. Thank You, O LORD, for the gift of Faith You've given me through Your Word, And for the Grand Calling and Challenge To be a Soldier of Truth, for my LORD. To put together words & rhyme--and touch a life--is so sublime! Thank God for such precious contact! (D.L.White) |

David; These are powerful words you have written and written beautifully as well. You gave me sound and wise advice once, that worked wonderfully for me. I give it back to you now. The battle isn't ours to fight, give it to the Lord, and let Him do the fighting, that is what the gift of faith is for, faith that He will wage and win those battles for us. You are such a dear friend and I am blessed. Love, Ellie Belief is a truth held in the mind; faith is a fire in the heart. Joseph Fort Newton |

So true, we do need to put on the full armor of God including the shield of faith... Just a note, whenever our armor (faith) gets week, remember we are in an army and we are not in this battle alone, but we are in this together to strengthen each other in the faith. We all need to fight together to deflect those fiery darts of our enemy... God Bless You, Bob <>< [This message has been edited by Lighthousebob (edited 12-04-2000).] |
