When we are prepared to to battle with the enemy by having put on the good news of God’s perfect peace, we are protected from slipping and falling or being immobilized by worry, anxiety, intimidation, or fears of any kind (i.e., we have excellent footwear, which is of critical importance to any soldier!).
