1 Samuel 1:1-28; Isaiah 44:6-23; 2 Corinthians 4:7-5:10
But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me. Psalm 3:3
Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy…great reward. Gen. 15:1
One of the many Biblical word pictures revealing our Lord is that of a shield. A definition given for shield is, “A person or thing that protects”. God assured Abram as he traveled with his small extended family into a new land that He was his shield. The psalmist claimed God as his shield and protector from those who relentlessly pursued him. How comforting to know that whatever threatens us, we can find safety in the Lord our shield and protector! —E. V.
You crush the enemy underneath my feet,
You are my sword and shield,
Though troubles linger still,
Whom shall I fear? —Chris Tomlin
