God is My Shield
But let all who take refuge in you be glad. Psalm 5:11
Friday the 13th is considered a day filled with bad luck. It is also a horror film released back in 1980. It tells the story of a group of teenage camp counselors who are murdered one by an unknown killer. As you can imagine some may start the day feeling a little shaky but, do not be shaken for long. Remind yourself that God is in control and He is your shelter.
Psalm 5 speaks of the Lord’s covering and protection; ‘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. Surely, Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.’
Many years ago, we used to sing a song, called A Shelter In The Time of Storm. The words are ‘The Lord’s our Rock, in Him we hide a shelter in the time of storm; Secure whatever ill betide A shelter in the time of storm….O, Jesus is a Rock in a weary land, a weary land, a weary land’
The Christian life is about relationship with Jesus. In our turmoil He whispers His words of comfort and assurance that He is near. Do not be distracted by todays date, instead draw close to God.
Prayer for today: Loving Father thank You for Your presence and protection. Thank you for being trustworthy at all times. May I find peace in You today. Amen
