Proverbs 2:7
“He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.”
When it comes to walking in obedience to God, one of my favorite quotes comes from Dr. Charles Stanley. “Obey God and leave all the consequences to Him!” When we’ve been wronged, it’s natural for us to want to defend ourselves and our character. But the truth is, we needn’t bother. For we have the greatest Protector and Advocate of all. As our Defender, God will fight our battles and navigate us through life with His perfect wisdom and sovereign control. And not only does He guard us against harm, but also orchestrates circumstances for our well-being and success. All we have to do is surrender and trust. By yielding to God’s defense, we tap into His limitless resources, experience His supernatural intervention, and find solace in His unwavering love and faithfulness. In doing so, we find a profound sense of peace, knowing that our ultimate protection and success are secure in the hands of the One who is all-knowing, all-powerful, and eternally faithful.
