Shield of Faith

Paul tells us the Armor of God includes the shield of faith. This shield requires us to put absolute trust in God to help us.  

READ JUDGES 7:1-22

This week’s scripture is about a man who took a huge leap of faith leading Israel into battle. He was facing a much larger enemy army and going in woefully unarmed. As a matter of fact, his men didn’t even have shields.

Gideon had great faith, and because of that faith, God gave him victory. God will give us victory over the attacks of our enemy as well. When we feel like we are under attack, it can be overwhelming, but the good news is, God has seen it all before. There is no attack the Lord has not seen. There is no attack he cannot counter. If we have faith, God can move mountains.!

- What does the shield represent in the armor of God? 
- How did faith help Gideon defeat the Midianites? 
- How can faith be our shield when we are attacked? 
 
Parents! Faith is our best defense against temptation, discouragement, and all the attacks of our enemy. Pray that God will give your children an ever-growing faith so they can withstand attack and stand strong! 

Memory Verse
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Ephesians 6:13
