Ephesians 6:16
Above all, taking the shield of faith. The Roman oblong shield,
four and a half feet long, covered the whole body, and was a protection
of itself. So faith, the faith that fully trusts in God and never
doubts, is the best of all defenses. It will quench, stop, put out all
the doubts, whisperings and evil suggestions of the wicked.
Fiery darts. These were missiles hurled by the hand, and very
dangerous unless stopped by the shield.
