Read about It
Read: Proverbs 30:5–6
Imagine for a moment that you’re running an obstacle course while arrows are being shot at you. You’re climbing walls, crawling under nets, and jumping barricades, and the arrows just keep flying. Imagine how hard it would be to complete the course while you worried about all the arrows.
Life is a lot like an obstacle course. Satan, our enemy, constantly shoots arrows at us to try to trip us up. However, because every word of God proves true, God is a shield to those who take refuge in Him. When we choose to obey God’s Word, God covers us with His protection and helps us move through life the way He wants us to.
