Psalm 5:12

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I wish I could put a protective barricade around those that I love, shielding them from the evils of this world. As Christians we have such a shield; the favor of God. And not a flimsy, fallible one that exposes our areas of vulnerability. We have a “tsin’nāh.” A massive, standing shield that protects us on every side from the arrows of the Enemy. The battles will be many this side of heaven. Yet because of His great love, God will never make us fight those battles on our own. He surrounds us with His glory and might. And that which the Lord favors, no one can tear down. There is no safer place to be than sheltered under God. For He promises that those who find refuge in Him will not only find protection, but will be glad and ever sing for joy!

Psalm 3:3

We all know the pain of betrayal. And when that betrayal comes from a loved one, the sting is that much more painful. David knew this well. When his own son, Absalom rose up against him and seized the throne of Israel, David was forced to flee for his life. Many thought David had no chance of escape and that God had turned against him. Yet in his despair, David never lost faith that God would deliver him. Though his enemies surrounded him, David could sleep in peace at night knowing he was resting safely in God’s protection. And each morning he woke up with renewed confidence to face the dangers ahead. Just like David, when the wolves are howling at the door, God promises to sustain us both in sleeping and waking up. And no matter how stacked the deck is against us, we can rejoice knowing whatever the storm, God has already given us the victory!
