A Shield Around Me

A Shield Around Me

It’s raining today and in the Northwest we often choose a hood on a coat over an umbrella to shield us as we venture forth. But sometimes we need a heavenly shield as we set out for the day.

"But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you. For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield. Psalm 5:11-12 NIV

Can you see Him going in front of you to make a way in the crowd of people and things around you the day? Are you able to smile and know it’s His hand holding on tightly when we drive the car, cross the street, walk the path or a hallway on our way today? 

God gives us each day the ticket for the journey, the His Holy Spirit to shield and empower us in His Word. It’s His hand we can cling to for a new step up in faith we are called to experience.  Let us say with conviction and great hope, “God is a shield around me.”
