I still remember a knothole baseball game years ago where I took a pitch right in the earhole of my batting helmet. I didn't feel a thing, as the ball wasn't thrown very hard and those helmets were pretty solid. But it probably would have hurt quite a bit without that helmet.
Helmets protect the head, where the mind sits. We need our minds to keep us cool and protected, especially in times of conflict when we are under attack. We need to know how to use our swords, offensively and defensively, which in our case is Scripture. How do we rely upon the Word of God for guidance? If we rely on our own words and wisdom, we'll likely fall short. But trusting in God... that is a battle plan to win the day.
