Biblical Truths

In Ephesians 6:10-18 we are instructed to put on the full armor of God, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, shoes to stand firm, the shield of faith, the helmet of God’s saving power and the sword of the word of God.

Nowhere in that passage does it suggest that we put on any sort of armor to protect our backside as we turn and flee in fearful retreat.

Follow along as we make our way through scripture to identify those passages that demonstrate and direct us to not be afraid, to not worry or be anxious… to be strong & courageous… to have a worshipful fear and awe of God… to have faith and trust in God.

Psalm 034:19-22

The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken!
