God Is Your Shield

This is one of my favorite sections of the Bible. I encourage you read it as many times as you need to so it will sink in and you can walk in these encouraging words. 

God is not going to give you a shield. He IS your shield. Paul, when talking about the armor of God, says, “In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.” Our faith is in God. When that’s the case, God is pleased with us (Hebrews 11:6) and protects us from all hurt and harm, like a shield does. 

No matter what “pain” you think you’re experiencing or have experienced, it is nothing compared to a life and an eternity without God. You have NO idea what the lost are in for if they continue to deny the existence of God, our Shield.

I want to challenge you to open your eyes, look around you, see the people who need Jesus, then share Him boldly. If you don’t share Him, who will? Here’s today’s Bible verse. Enjoy. 

Psalm 115:9-11

9 All you Israelites, trust in the Lord—he is their help and shield. 10 House of Aaron, trust in the Lord—he is their help and shield. 11 You who fear him, trust in the Lord—he is their help and shield.
