Keep Your Shield Up

Ephesians 6:16 

"In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one."

Satan is constantly trying to mess with your head. Those are the flaming arrows that he uses. He can try to run your thoughts into a maddening insanity. Don't let him. Keep your shield of faith up. 

Satan is referred to as the accuser of the brethren. He will try to accuse you to yourself and make you stop believing in yourself. Don't let him. He might try to accuse other people to you to turn you against them. Don't let that happen. God loves it when we love people. Satan wants you to hate them.

Keep the shield of faith up, faith in God, faith in yourself and faith in others. Try to always believe the best about others rather than assume the worst. Our closest friends usually are our friends because they believe the best about us. They trust us. They believe that we are good. Believe that about yourself too. Believe that you will do great things, if you try hard enough. Don't let Satan or anyone else stop you from doing what you know you can do. 😁
