9    O house of Israel, trust in the Lord--he is their help and shield.

The Breastplate of Righteousness  (Isaiah 59:17 and Ephesians 6:14)

The Breastplate of Faith and Love  (I Thessalonians 5:8)
8    But since we belong to the day, let us be self-controlled, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

The Willingness to Run and Spread the Good News  (Isaiah 52:7 and Ephesian 6:15)
Isaiah 52:7
7  How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

15  and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
