The Lord is my fort where I can enter and be safe; no one can follow me in and slay me. He is a rugged mountain where I hide; he is my Savior, a rock where none can reach me, and a tower of safety. He is my shield. He is like the strong horn of a mighty fighting bull.
Dear Ones: My Shield! A shield is something or someone that protects or defends. In Ephesians 6:16, TLB, Paul tells us. “In every battle you will need faith as your shield to stop the fiery arrows aimed at you by Satan.” Therefore, our shield is not just a piece of armor, but a person: Christ is our shield.
Our lives are hidden in Him. He is the ever-protecting shield and the unmovable Rock upon which our faith rests. The Master explained why the foundation of our faith is important in Matthew 7:24-25, TLB. “All who listen to my instructions and follow them are wise, like a man who builds his house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents, and the floods rise and the storm winds beat against his house, it won’t collapse, for it is built on rock.”
In these turbulent times, it is important to sow the seeds of these verses into your heart. The evil one wants to destroy your faith with his thought bombs and other attacks. But you are to raise your armor and declare, “The Lord is my shield, my defender, and my rock. My faith in Him quenches the fiery missiles that have been launched against me. This storm shall pass, and I will remain standing on the rock with my shield intact. Praise the Lord!”
Have an overcoming day in Jesus’ name.
