Reinforcements

My daughters have been creating drop boxes for a school science project. They have to design something using household items that will keep an egg from cracking when it is dropped in a container from a great height. It's fun to see their creativity. One daughter is using a box full of socks to provide padding, while another is using an old scarf inside of another box.

It's too bad we don't give such forethought to protect our faith. We let so many influences bombard us instead of putting up strong barriers to keep us strong and secure. When we don't take the time to pray and worship and read our Bibles, we allow weaknesses in our defenses that can buckle in time.

If you find yourself in a frail position, reinforce your faith with a healthy dose of praise, prayer, and petition. Soon you'll find your faith restored and strengthened and ready for whatever comes your way.
