Fantastic Friday #275- Shield

Shield

3 But you, LORD, are a shield around me,
my glory, the One who lifts my head high.
4 I call out to the LORD,
and he answers me from his holy mountain.

5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.
6 I will not fear though tens of thousands
assail me on every side. Psalm 3:3-6

What do you think of when you hear the word shield. Have you ever thought of what a shield is made of and what good it really is for someone? It all really comes down to being a protective device and in the past they have typically been made out of a strong metal to repel the attacks of another fighter. I really like how we can look at something so simple and see how we can view God and who He is for us. When you feel attacked by the evil one, or beat down by what the world has to offer, put your Faith in the Lord and let Him be the shield for you. He can repel any attack of the evil one, any feeling of inadequacy, any sadness and any general negative situation in our life. Use your Faith to raise up God to His place, and that is your strong protector.

Have a great weekend.
