My Defense
“My defence is of God, which saveth the upright in heart.” (Psalms 7:10)
Today’s Morsel: As Christians, one of the things we need in our walk and spiritual warfare is protection. Paul tells us to put on the whole armor of God so that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Protection is needed in so many areas of our lives. We need protection first and foremost from ourselves. You may be saying, “I don’t need protection from me.” But really you do. And here’s why. We often say and do things, and then we feel terrible about what we may have said because we know that we can’t get our words back. We may even give in to wrong on the job because we don’t want others to criticize us for our beliefs; or we may think that no one will see us when we do wrong, and then we feel bad because we feel as though we let God down. Therefore, we need protection from ourselves. We also may find that in this warfare, we need protection from wrong thoughts, actions, and conduct of others, because others will try to draw us in to their circles or wrong. The enemy of our soul would love nothing more than to destroy us. Therefore, we must seek God daily for His divine protection. We must have Him become our defense. It is only through Him that we are safe and protected. So, stay under the shadow of His wings.
Sing: God is my refuge and strength, my refuge in time of trouble, trouble. God is my refuge and strength, my refuge in time of trouble. And He will hide me under the rock, under the rock, under the rock; and He will hide me, under the rock; and I’ll be safe in the time of trouble.
