Protection

Hebrews 13:5 

Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for He has said, “I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.”

 

Protection

 

A harness for the taking to cover yourselves with shield

This will slow you down my brother like a stiff in a casket

So it will always be ... if you trust in that protection

that you invented by yourself as you try to mask it

 

It is good to have a helmet as described in the bible

It is safe to have a breastplate called righteousness

It is great to be girded with emblems of the truth

and have your feet protected by peace and earnestness

 

The helmet of Salvation and the word of Peace in hand

Shown like a glittering sword embraced by the Spirit

Always filled with Prayer and the Spirit’s supplication

watching out to persevere for saint and friend to bear it
