The Quenching ShieldNew Testament
“Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.”

The Leaped WallOld Testament
“For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.”
(KJV)
David credits the breach of the wall to God and not to his own reach: by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Stop cowering before worldly pressure or persistent temptation today. Exercise active faith in Christ, knowing that victory is your spiritual birthright.
Passage:
Focus: Dwell on verse 5: "Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" Faith in Christ is the conquering power.
Ask yourself: Where do you give in before the pressure has really begun? Expecting to be beaten is its own quiet form of surrender.
Jehovah God our Father, the world has been pulling at me all week, and whatsoever is born of God overcomes it — this is the victory, even my faith. Strengthen that faith by Your Holy Spirit against every pull today. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus, the Son of God who overcame. Amen.
