Psalm and Praise, Day 7

My shield. Read Psalm chapter 7.

I admit I have been playing a lot of the video game Minecraft with my kids lately. It’s been fun to learn and understand that world and enjoy spending time with them in it. One of them ways you can equip your character in that world is with a shield. That shield is incredibly helpful to hide behind and to use to protect yourself.

When we think about our lives on a daily basis, God is our shield. He is the one we are to duck behind and to lean into. He is the one that comes between us and whatever else is out there. Nothing can reach us that hasn’t gone through him. We can take comfort in understanding the role of the shield and how he impacts our lives today. Are we staying hidden behind our shield in God today?
