Fiery Darts of the Wicked- Using the Sheild of Faith

So I thought I would focus on a part of what I wrote about last time. Just like the title says I what to write about the Fiery Darts of the Wicked. The scripture says

 16Above all, taking the shield of afaith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery bdarts of the wicked.

 Just like last time this is found in Ephesians 6 but I am only using one verse it is Verse 16. Faith is very important. We use it everyday in our life. Ok so this has probably been used before but you have faith that the sun will come up tomorrow. So faith is extremely important you always need it. It doesn't matter what it is. I have faith that Jesus Christ lives. That is one major aspect of faith. This draws my mind to a another scripture in is found in The Book of Mormon in the Book of Ether Chapter 12 verse 6

afaith is things which are bhoped for and cnot seen

So this is only part of the scripture but this is the one part that came to my mind. It says it all what faith is in those 10 simple words.

Now the fiery darts of the wicked could come from anywhere. It could be a simple thought of hey take the candy no one will know that you did it there are tons more. Hey take that toy car your friend has tons more he will not notice that one is missing. Or it could be going out and staying out late and deciding to do something that you know is wrong. Or it could be something really bad. I don't know just imagine something really bad or what you consider something bad in your mind. These can all be considered fiery darts of the wicked. That is why you need the shield of faith. It is a major protection to you. It may be needed to be used in a minutes notice. So always have your shield ready. Never leave it behind because you will need it when you are least expecting to use it. That is when Satan always gets you is when you think you will not need it the most.
