The Ultimate Shield

Have you ever noticed the lengths people go to make themselves safe? Whether it's living in a fortress, having security guards, guns, alarm systems, or something else. I'm not saying it's wrong having any of these, but what we can't forget is that the Lord is truly the ultimate protector. I love what Psalm 18:30 tells us, "God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to Him for protection." What words of comfort and encouragement. The Lord is our mighty shield and all I have to do is trust in Him. When you can go throughout your day knowing the Lord is your shield and protector, it's so amazing and brings such confidence. It doesn't matter what things come your way today, the Lord is your powerful shield and protector. Whatever strategy or tactics the enemy tries to use against you, simply hide in behind your impenetrable shield, the Lord. Psalm 18 is such a passage of strength to all Christians and continues in verses 35-36 by saying, "You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; Your help has made me great. You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping." What peace, comfort and encouragement the Lord brings. I encourage you to read Psalm 18 today :)
