'Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him' (Proverbs 30:5).
Our God is a God of truth and he never lies - He cannot lie. Every word of God is pure and true, His promises are sure and true and will never fail. We can be confident in Him and trust every word that proceeds from him. That is, what ever He says or do we can trust him. We should love the Word of God; it gives us life and life comes from the living God who is the Word. Psalms 119:140 says, "Thy woed is pure: therefore thy servant loveth it." All Scriptures are pure and free from falsehood and error. It is inspired by the Holy Spirt and given by God, and is therefore, trustworthy. For all who trust God, he is our Shield. What does a shield do? It protects. Christ our Saviour died to save us from our sins and becomes our Shield to protect us from sin, Satan, our enemies, and from the evil and wickedness of this world. But we have to do something too; we have to trust Him and he will protect us. If we put our trust in man and material things, we cannot be protected. When we know God, we will trust him and be obedient to His commands and reliant on his promises. He promises to be a Shield to those who trust in Him, all we need to do is believe. Let us ask the Lord to help us to walk uprightly. He promises not to withhold any good thing from us and will be our shield (Psalm 84:11). If we fear the Lord and trust in him, He will be our help and shield (Psalm 115:11). We ought to trust in the Lord, who is the Living Word. His word cannot be improved upon because it is pure as gold and silver tried in the fire then becoming pure and refine. When we trust God and His revelation of Himself, we will be protected from bondage of every calibre. Let Christ be our Shield as we trust in Him.
Have a wonderful day 🌹🌹
Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...
