Playbook: The Game Plan for Navigating Temptation預覽

If you've ever seen the old-school armor of a knight or soldier, then you know that a shield was an essential piece. It helped guard the soldier from oncoming attacks and could even serve as a weapon in battle. This verse tells us that this is the kind of defense that God is for us when we battle temptation. God gives us the strength we need to turn away from temptation and acts as a shield for us in the fight against it. Because of that, we can not only be strong in the face of what tempts us, but we can be grateful and celebrate the God who promises to stay in the fight with us.

Today, draw a picture of a shield. Put it somewhere you can see it often to remind you of the strength and protection God offers when we’re faced with temptation.
