The Best Defense

Armor is practically useless unless you plan to fight back in the first place. The best warriors need very little armor because they know how to defend themselves with their sword. We cannot idly sit by and expect the enemy to leave us alone. If we are not fighting, we are vulnerable. Fighting means actively seeking to keep the commandments. The minute we become idle and let our guard down, the adversary will have us in his sights. And recovering your wits from an ambush is hard. It's not impossible, but it is always better to pay attention and protect ourselves from any situation where an ambush is possible. But if we are standing in holy places and keeping the commandments, they can't touch us. Because when we are doing those things, we are not fighting alone. The Savior fights for us.
