OUR DAILY BREAD:At all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the Evil One.” (Ephesians 6:16)Satan implants the following thoughts into your mind:Doubt. You start asking yourself, “Did God really say? Can I really trust God? Isn’t that just your interpretation?” Discouragement. Satan tells you, “You’re never going to get any better. Your life won’t change. Don’t even try.” Delay. You ask yourself, “Why is this taking so long?” Something you want to happen hasn’t happened by now. Difficulty. You ask yourself, “Why is this so hard? Why is it so hard to make my marriage work? Why is it so hard to get a job?” Depression. You tell yourself, “It’s not worth it.” You don’t even feel like making an effort.In times of great uncertainty — like when youre out of work or going through a major family transition — these fiery darts will fly at you even faster. You better be ready for them.How do you handle these darts? Put on the Shield of Faith. It’s the only protection you have against doubt, discouragement, delay, difficulty, and depression. Trust God, no matter what you see, hear, or feel about the world around you. You need the certainty of God when you face the uncertainty of Satan’s fiery darts.In short, you’ll need to doubt your doubts and believe your beliefs. Most people do just the opposite. They doubt their beliefs and believe their doubts. Believe what God tells you in his Word.Whenever you start believing your doubts and doubting your beliefs, Satan cracks a door open in your life, and he’ll use that door to attack you on many levels. Satan will never stop throwing his fiery darts at you. Stay on your guard. Trust God and his Word, no matter what’s going on in your life. The Shield of Faith is the best protection money can’t buy.
