While the Lord calls me to be wise and discerning, he reminds me often
that his discernment cannot dwell in a cynical distrustful heart. With
Him, there is no hidden agenda and no ulterior motive. His gifts are
free for the taking but I cannot take these gifts if my hands are
already full of my own weapons of self-protection. Therefore, He asks me
to lay down the shields that I have forged for protection and to pick up
the shield of faith in their place. He asks me to take Him at His Word.

Yes, the armour of God! We are studying this in our Bible study---haven't gotten too far into it yet but I'm looking forward to understanding this, so my sheild is not one of my own making but the one that truly protects! ~Dawne
I love the part that says that He asks me to lay down the sheilds that I have forged for protection and to pick up the shield of faith in their place. I want to have the shield of faith as protection in every area & not the ones I've forged on my own. Great devo!
Have a wonderful Lord's Day!
Wise words. I am very cynical about worldly things...
Thanks for the reminder.
Susan, perfect devotion for me today. thanks for sharing that one....isn't it amazing how we get a word from the Lord to share??!! He's so good....
Wow that is so powerful and true! I can't mix a little of mine with a little of Him.
Maybe I'll get it this time.
Hmmm......that is what He has been teaching me lately.
And for a second WOW...don't know what changed but now when I scroll down my blogs I read I see an update of your posts. Cool!
