For the Lord God is our sovereign protector. The Lord bestows favor and honor; he withholds no good thing from those who have integrity.
Dear Ones: Sovereign Protector! Sovereign means supreme in power, possessing supreme dominion. The psalmist declares the truth that the Supreme One is his protector. A protector is a watchman who cares for those under his protection. A shepherd is a watchful protector. Our Good Shepherd is our Sovereign Protector.
It is good to sow scripture verses like this one into the soil of our hearts. Because the pressures and cares of our hectic world seek to dominate our thoughts crowding out the good seed of the Word. The Lord does not simply protect us. However, that in itself would be enough. Additionally, as Sovereign of our lives, He blesses with favor and honor those who love Him with all of their hearts. When the enemy attacks us then the Word of God that has been sown into our hearts rises up to contradict, crush, and push back against his onslaught. It’s like we hide under the shadow of His wings trusting in His promise to withhold no good thing from His children. We fight from this position fully trusting in Him to destroy the works of the enemy. We use the authority He gave us in Luke 10:19.
Rejoice in the Lord as your Sovereign Protector, today! Fill your heart with verses that declare His supreme power over all the works of the enemy. Believe that His Word is true then speak the truth to yourself so you will remember His goodness. Philippians 1:3 tells you, “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.” Walk as an overcomer today. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
