Most theologians generally define “faith” as: a belief in something sight unseen. John Maxwell states there are 3 kinds of faith that relate to the Christian experience. They are: Faith in our God, Faith in each other and Faith in ourselves. Some of the elements of faith that I have to rely on daily are: That Jesus is the Son of God and sits at the right hand of the Father. That Jesus died for our sins; paying the cost, so we can have eternal life. That God is able to save us from each other; and ourselves. That he loves us and hears our cries(prayers) . After many years of ruining my life by trying to run it myself in my sinful, disobedient way, I finally put my faith in Jesus. As I now reflect back, I began to think of my faith like a heavy Roman shield. A strong, well made shield, one that is founded in belief in Jesus, has a good weight to it and is heavy to lift. It requires a good physical effort and is not easy to hoist up. It must be so, because it has to withstand the onslaught of arrows, flaming or not, that come to a believer daily. Some days I feel like I can’t lift my shield; like the burden is too much to bear. It is in those times when I take peace in the verse Psalm 7: 10. God SAVES the upright in heart! I have faith He will do that, every time I call and without fail.<br>Thank you God for your promises. May my faith in you increase daily</div><div style="margin:10px 0"></div><div style="margin:10px 0"> <br>My Shield Will I Lift Up<br> <br>a poem by Chris<br> <br> <br>The money-changer’s hand comes to snatch my coin<br>But my shield will I lift up.<br>The flaming arrows seek to destroy<br>But my shield is God Most High.<br> <br>A rock was placed to watch me stumble<br>But my shield I throw aloft.<br>I keep my heart faithful and humble<br>For my shield is free from rot.<br> <br>The valley is dark and the path is narrow<br>And my shield is my defense.<br>Thieves they come to seek my marrow<br>But my shield is quite immense.<br> <br>When one step further is one too much<br>My shield blocks the fray.<br>When to my chest my faith I clutch<br>my shield knows the way.<br> <br>So onward and upward to battle I come<br>Bringing my shield to peril’s door<br>Having no fear of my enemy’s drum<br>I hoist the shield once more.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Chris+Taylor">Chris Taylor</a><div class=q>
