Wednesday Meditation Shield of Faith in Times of Wednesday Meditation Shield of Faith in Times of Political Unrest Scripture: "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." — Ephesians 6:16 (KJV) Reflection: A Battle Not of Flesh and Blood The turmoil we see is not just about leaders, governments, or policies—it is a manifestation of a deeper, unseen war. Paul says earlier in Ephesians 6:12: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." This means that the corruption and evil we witness are not just human failings; they are influenced by dark spiritual forces seeking to destroy nations, oppress the weak, and silence God’s people. But as believers, we do not fight with earthly weapons (2 Corinthians 10:4). Instead, we hold up our shield of faith. How the Shield of Faith Protects Us Faith Reminds Us That God is Sovereign – No leader, government, or wicked scheme can overthrow the King of Kings (Daniel 2:21). Faith Guards Our Hearts from Fear – The world may be unstable, but God remains our refuge and stronghold (Psalm 46:1-2). Faith Keeps Us Anchored in Truth – Propaganda, deception, and lies may flood the media, but faith in God’s Word gives clarity and wisdom (John 16:13). Faith empowers us to Stand for Righteousness. Instead of despair, we rise as warriors of prayer, truth, and justice (Micah 6:8). Prayer: Heavenly Father, in these times of unrest, we trust You as our refuge and defender. Strengthen our faith to stand firm against fear and deception. Protect the vulnerable, expose corruption, and bring justice. Let Your Kingdom come, and Your will be done. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
