But you, Lord , are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. Psalm 3:3 NIV
I had to clean a shelf on the refrigerator today. Something spilled and was stuck to the glass. I had to take a glass scraper and chip away at the edges until it was gone. If you've ever done this you know you have to start with the outside. You won't have much luck trying to get to the middle part without chipping away the edges first.
I had been thinking on this verse today and realized this was a good analogy. We are that blot. If we are in God, he is a shield around us. In order for Satan to get to us, he'd have to chip away at the edges. Well guess what? God has defeated him. God is stronger. There is no chipping of his armor. Satan loses. Wow.
We can feel safe and secure knowing God is our shield.
