Why Shield Digital Design?
When searching for a name, it's important that the selection be both memorable and meaningful. In this case, Shield represents the most important component of the armor of God: the Shield of faith. It's a memorial to God's faithfulness and the protection He affords during the spiritual battles of everyday life.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Ephesians 6:13-18 KJV
