Our Protective Shield

 The chronicles of old and the writings of Moses recorded the many times when God had protected His people and had become their safe hiding place and a protective shield from the assault of the enemy. But the Psalmist trusted the whole counsel of God and believed that His future promises of deliverance of His people was faithful and true, although he recognized that he may have to wait for its final fulfilment. The Psalmist had learned that the Word of the Lord is trustworthy and true, and though the fulfilment of God's Word may tarry, he would wait for it patiently for it will surely come.
 The Lord is no less our Shield and Hiding Place in this world in which we live. He is still our Rock of defense and our Strong Tower in these troublesome times, and His precious promises to all His children continue as he continues to be Our Protective Shield.
You are my refuge and my shield; I have put my hope in your word.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that You are our hiding place. Help us to abide in You, day by day. Thank You that You are our Shield and Defender. Help us to remain covered in the spiritual armor of God so that we may stand fast in Christ. Thank You that Your Word of truth is altogether sure and can never fail. Help us to patiently endure the trials and difficulties of life, knowing that the day is fast approaching when Jesus will come to take us to be with You, Whom to know is life eternal. To You be all praise and glory. In Jesus’ name, AMEN.
