TEXT: Psalm
7:10-17
TOPIC: MY
SHIELD IS GOD MOST HIGH
In ancient times, shields
were large protective gears used to fend off swords, arrows and spears of
enemies during battle.
David asks the Lord to
symbolically be his own shield which efficacy is guaranteed. To be under God’s
shield is to have God as your protector and to trust that He will look out for
you and safeguard your life in the battles of this life.
David might have remembered
his encounter with the mighty Goliat who trusted in his military experience and
intimidating physique.
The Bible tells us that
David took his staff and hi hands, chose five smooth stones from the streams,
put them in the pouch of shepherd’s bag and with his sling in his hand, approached
the Philistine.
Meanwhile, the Philistine,
with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David… he said “Am
I a dog that you came to me with sticks?” David said, “you come to me with sword
and spear and javelin but I come against you in the name of the LORD almighty,
the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defiled…all those gathered here
will know that it is not by sword or spears that the LORD saves” (1 Samuel
17:40-51).
QUESTION: God
was David’s shield, what is yours?
PRAYER: I
confess that there are times I relied on the weapons of the flesh for my protection,
forgive me for doing so, dear Lord, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
