(Psalm 91:3-4)
Years ago Sharon was in a store with our little girls. She had them in a stroller. She got on an elevator with the girls and a man followed her on the elevator. A strange feeling suddenly came over Sharon.
Although the elevator had been operating, when the man pushed the numbers for different floors, the elevator door wouldn’t close. He kept punching buttons but nothing happened. Finally, the man looked around and took off running. The moment he got out of the elevator, the elevator door shut and operated normally. Sharon later learned from the building’s security guard that he caught this man in a women’s restroom.
Picture in your mind a giant eagle covering you with its wings as a shield of safety. That’s the provision God has provided for your protection.
Ephesians 6:16 says that with the shield of faith “&you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.” It’s not God’s will that any fiery dart of the devil touch your life.
