I understood the shield of faith this morning in a new way – since faith is action, the shield is generated by my righteous actions. I envision it materializing around me as I move. The Lord will protect me if I engage in battle, but if I stand still my protection evaporates.
Ephesians 6:16 (D&C 27:17) 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
