God Is Our Shield

-July 10, 2025-

Good morning beloved, happy Thursday,

“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; my God in whom I trust; my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

(Psalm 18.2).

David, the writer of this psalm, was extremely familiar with shields and he was very proficient with them. As he thought about it, he saw the parallels between the shield and the Lord.

Five times in the Scripture, the expression “my shield” is used of the Lord. Shields are used for protection and defense. The Lord is our defense against the onslaught of the devil.

Whenever we face an obstacle, He is our shield; whatever we go through, He is our shield; whatever attacks come, He is our shield.

Have a blessed day behind your shield, taking cover with the shield. Stay safe and healthy.

We never need to yield, when the Lord is our shield.
