About this image: Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. —Ephesians 6:16 When my daughter reached her teenage years, I wanted her to arm herself daily with the Armour of God to be able to stand strong in her battle against the adversary. Searching for armour to use for her to wear as the model for the painting wasn't an easy task. Armour is made to personally fit the warrior—isn't that a great thought? Our own spiritual armour is forged personally in the home, piece by piece, and it's personally repaired and polished after each battle. The principles taught by each piece of armour are the daily tasks that will protect us in life: truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, the Spirit, and the word of God. —Judy Cooley
