Genesis,
Chapter 15, verse 1
Sometime
afterward, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: Do not fear, Abram! I am your
shield; I will make your reward very great.
Let us take heart for
the word (Christ) appeared to Abram and told him to not to fear the world. Abram was sore afraid
because he had just been in battle with four Kings to rescue Lot his nephew and
he feared retribution. Christ is our
shield against the world (the four kings east, west, north and south) and he
has rewarded us the spiritual children of Abram with eternal life. Our shield
is our Faith. Do you believe? Do you
really believe? Think of a shield it protects the heart from the arrows of
the devil-which is doubt. But notice the shield does not protect the eyes and
the head unless it is raise. When doubt comes around raise your shield of Faith
and after the assault lower the shield and advance using your reason and your
head and eyes in faith to make a difference in the world.
Additionally in Proverbs
2 it states that he is a shield to those who walk in integrity; let us resolve
to walk resolutely in integrity by using faith and reason in the battle with
the world, the flesh and the devil. True integrity is being willing to lay down
your life for what you hold fast as the truth without wavering. Having
integrity means avoiding the sins of envy and having a true love for God our
creator and to love our neighbor as ourselves and our fellow humans treating
them with kindness.
