RESOLVE: Write down one phrase from the passage that reminds you of God's protection.
"The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people;
he is the saving refuge of his anointed."
he is the saving refuge of his anointed."
No one stands in God's place, but I do believe my wife, different family members, and the body of Christ (the Church) help protect me as a shield. Verse 3; those who speak cordially to their neighbors, but harbor malice in their hearts. God Be with You by Jermiah Rankin in 1880; He will protect us from those who want to hurt us until we meet at Jesus' feet - WOW!
ReplyDeleteThe L ord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. (Psalms 28:7 NLT)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I may hide behind my parents, my own desire to control and my work to attempt to shield and protect me. Sometimes I ask God or a protective sheild to encircle me...many times I get it.
