| “As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.” |
| —Psalm 18:30 |
When a solider comes under enemy fire, he or she wants to take cover under the best possible shield. That protection allows the soldier to regroup, take stock, check his or her ammunition, and prepare to mount yet another offensive against the enemy.
So it is in the life of a Christian. We all too often come under attack of the enemy. Satan desires to destroy us. He wants to shake our faith. He wants to disillusion us. He wants to mar our walk with God.
But, when we come under this attack, God offers us the best possible protection. The New International Version of the Bible describes it this way in 2 Samual 22:1:
David sang to the Lord the words of this song, when the Lord delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
David sings quite a lot. In fact, every Psalm that David wrote is truly a song. Notice what David sang in Psalm 18:30:
As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him.
Today, if you feel the enemy is attacking you, take refuge in the protection that God offers you. He will gladly shield you from the most vicious arrows of Satan’s attack. His love will enfold you. He will soothe and dress any wounds you may have received. And, rejoice in His loving arms. He is your God and you belong to Him.
